Carlos A. Alonso Cano, as Next Friend of His Minor Daughter Jany Leidy Alonso Morejon, et al. v. 245 C&C, LLC, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 24-12752 · judgment December 23, 2025
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
Whether a district court violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment by permitting retained counsel to withdraw post-trial without assessing the litigant's prejudice, thereby denying the assistance of counsel during critical post-trial and appellate proceedings? Whether, in an action involving minor or incapacitated plaintiffs, a district court violates Rule 17(c)(2) by allowing counsel to withdraw post-trial without establishing safeguards to ensure the plaintiffs are continuously represented through appeal and further district court proceedings? Whether a federal appellate court violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment by affirming an order allowing retained counsel to withdraw post trial, effectively denying the aggrieved person constitutionally adequate representation on appeal? Whether an appellate court violates the Right of Access to Federal Courts by affirming an order that permits retained counsel to withdraw post-trial, leaving minor and incapacitated plaintiffs unrepresented for the entirety of the appeal?
