Halprin v. Davis

Petition for certiorari denied on April 6, 2020
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
19-6156 5th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2019

Issue: Whether Randy Halprin’s second federal petition raising a judicial bias claim is “second or successive” under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(2) if the judge concealed his bias by failing to recuse himself, and the public exposure of his bigotry after the conclusion of Halprin’s initial habeas proceedings in the district court created Halprin’s first fair opportunity to present his claim.
