Vitaly Korchevsky v. United States

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 23-8107 · judgment June 12, 2024


Certiorari denied · February 24, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 0% cert probability

Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.

Questions presented

  1. Did the Court of Appeals err in ignoring a Motion to Strike the affidavit of attorney Steven Brill when that affidavit was submitted contrary to federal statutory and case law and this Court's holdings on evidence in habeas corpus proceedings, and was in no way admissible evidence which the district court also exclusively relied on to deny the habeas motion?

  2. Did the Court of Appeals err in rubber-stamping the district court's total ignoring of massive evidence of unconstitutional error in Petitioner's lawyer's conduct, where this Court has specifically and clearly laid out the requirements of examining evidence in habeas matters and where the lower courts ignored these mandates?
