John Doe v. Bill Crouch, in His Official Capacity as Cabinet Secretary of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 23-1364 · judgment July 28, 2023
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
Does Rooker-Feldman bar jurisdiction when declaring a statute unconstitutional would undermine a state court’s reliance upon the statute? Does Rooker-Feldman preclude the federal court from deciding the constitutionality of a legislative act that the state court ratified, acquiesced in, and/or left unpunished? Is the redressability element of standing satisfied when a favorable decision would mandate equal treatment?
