Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 24-12625 · judgment June 3, 2025
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Questions presented
-
Whether the Eleventh Circuit violated due process by simultaneously denying a Rule 60(b)(6) motion and a petition for panel rehearing, both based on newly discovered evidence, without explanation or comment, contrary to Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254 (1970).
-
Whether the use of coerced affidavits obtained from a severely dyslexic individual with known cognitive and speech impairments to justify a wiretap warrant violates constitutional protections under Colorado v. Connelly, 479 U.S. 157 (1986).
-
Whether the failure to investigate credible claims of fabricated evidence and government misconduct, including the role of FBI Agent Edward Traeger (deceased), warrants Supreme Court intervention under Banks v. Dretke, 540 U.S. 668 (2004).
