Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 23-1827 · judgment August 15, 2024
Before the decision, about 2.3× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).
Question presented
Whether the term “offense” in the double jeopardy provision of the United States-India extradition treaty and many other extradition treaties refers to the conduct underlying the charges in the two countries, as the Second Circuit has held, or to the elements of the crimes charged, as the Fourth Circuit has held and as the Ninth Circuit held in this case.
