Amory Investments LLC, et al. v. Utrecht-America Holdings, Inc., et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 22-1858 · judgment July 21, 2023
Before the decision, about 2.3× 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 business petitioner, and down for a business respondent and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.
Question presented
Is the Seventh Circuit correct in its view (contrary to that of other courts of appeals) that a district court may, in response to a motion made pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), “effectively grant summary judgment” under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 without providing plaintiffs their procedural rights under Rule 56, on the basis that Rule 12 and Rule 56 can “merge”?
