Dean Gross v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, No. 22-2143 · judgment February 8, 2024
Before the decision, about 3.4× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).
Question presented
It is a federal crime, punishable by five years in prison, to “escape” from “any custody under or by virtue of any process issued under the laws of the United States by any court.” 18 U.S.C. § 751(a). The question presented is: Whether or under what circumstances a criminal defendant released to a halfway house is in “custody” and therefore can commit the crime of escape.
