Gordon Blake v. Martin Gamboa, Warden
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 22-16346 · judgment December 15, 2023
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a petition filed soon after the judgment below, a Ninth Circuit decision below, and counsel who has filed here before, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Questions presented
-
Whether Ex Post Facto protections were denied by the extension of the state statute of limitations by an unforeseeable judicial interpretation of a statutory term, and whether petitioner was denied Effective Assistance of Counsel by the lack of timely briefing related to counsel’s bar suspension.
-
Whether the complaining witness’ failure to describe the alleged illegal conduct, or to make any reasonable approximation of the alleged dates, denied petitioner the constitutional right to Notice.
