Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 20-4054, 21-1969 · judgment August 9, 2023
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel with five or more prior petitions here, a Second Circuit decision below, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.
Question presented
Whether the bottom has fallen out of the “totality of the circumstances” standard established by Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 (1983) for evaluating the reliability of informants in the context of finding probable cause to issue a warrant and this court should conclude that merely placing an informant under oath is insufficient to find an informant reliable.
