Antoine Douglass Johnson v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 23-3676 · judgment January 28, 2025
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
I. Did the inferior courts err: 1) by failing to apply, or 2) by misapplying, settled Article III standing rules to factual jurisdictional objections allowing expansion of the record? II. Is a use or disclosure “order of a court of competent jurisdiction granted after application showing good cause” (42 U.S.C. § 290dd-2(b)(2)(C)), a prerequisite to suit; and, does its absence debar prosecution under 28 U.S.C. § 547(1)? III. The Defendant is a beneficiary of the Confidentiality of records statute (42 U.S.C. § 290dd-2); and, its rules (42 C.F.R. Part 2). Does compelled disclosure or use of sensitive, substance use disorder records, withstand exacting scrutiny in this case? r
