D'Andre M. Johnson v. United States

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, No. 22-0280 · judgment May 8, 2023


Certiorari denied · November 13, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces below, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).

Question presented

I. 28 U.S.C. § 1259(3) states that this Court may review “[c]ases in which the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces granted a petition for review.” Does 28 U.S.C. § 1259(3) give this Court jurisdiction, as part of the case, to consider issues raised to, but not granted review by, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces? II. Is Second Lieutenant Johnson’s conviction for sexually assaulting M.P. legally sufficient? 1 1 Second Lieutenant Johnson raised Issue II to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, but it did not grant his petition for review on this issue.
