Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 24-1960 · judgment December 2, 2024
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Questions presented
-
Whether the Third Circuit Court of Appeals violated fundamental due process principles by granting a stay requested by the government to delay proceedings until after an unfavorable change in law and subsequently applying the new legal standard to deny Petitioner’s motion for a two-point sentence reduction.
-
Whether the Third Circuit’s refusal to grant en banc rehearing, despite existing precedents in the circuit that support Petitioner’s position, violated the Petitioner’s right to fair judicial review.
-
Whether the apparent coordination between the government and the appellate court undermines the integrity of the judicial process and constitutes a violation of the Petitioner’s constitutional right to an impartial tribunal.
