Eunice Bisong Nkongho v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 22-4261 · judgment July 10, 2024
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, counsel who has filed here before, and a Fourth Circuit decision below, and down for a petition filed soon after the judgment below.
Question presented
I. Whether the scope of the border exception to the Fourth Amendment extends to a seizure and search for information about a crime? II. Whether the delay in obtaining a search warrant is unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment and not saved by the good faith exception where the reason for the delay is that law enforcement did not want to create precedent requiring a warrant every time there is a search of electronic media that is seized at the border?
