Rule 10: dissent below

Roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weights this up for a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), an Eleventh Circuit decision below, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a state or local-government respondent.

Questions presented

  1. Whether Petitioner received constitutionally adequate notice of a sentencing enhancement per Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), and progeny and this Court’s prior holdings on the due process requirements for adequate notice.

  2. Whether the lower courts arbitrarily denied Goldson a certificate of appealability on his violation of Apprendi and constitutionally deficient notice of a sentencing enhancement.
