In Re Securus Technologies, et al.
Paid petition
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the First Circuit violated 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a) by refusing to transfer to the Fifth Circuit consolidated challenges to a Federal Communications Commission order and, instead, rewarding forumshopping by three public interest organizations that filed incurably premature petitions for review over which the courts of appeals lack jurisdiction, solely to cause a venue lottery that should not have occurred.
