USIC, LLC v. Northern Illinois Gas Company
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 21-13377 · judgment April 18, 2023
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, an Eleventh Circuit decision below, and a business petitioner, and down for a business respondent.
Questions presented
-
If a federal court of appeals construes a filing below as a postjudgment motion tolling the time for appeal, does that court have authority to reverse a district court’s decision based on an argument that was presented for the first time in the “postjudgment motion” and was not based on new evidence or a change in law?
-
Does a final order exist under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58 where the district court grants summary judgment without an accompanying opinion and asks one of the parties to submit a proposed order?
