  • Options for Federal Judicial Screening Committees Second Edition September 2011 (2D
    Options for Federal Judicial Screening Committees Second Edition September 2011 (2d. ed.) OPTIONS FOR FEDERAL JUDICIAL SCREENING COMMITTEES: Where They Are in Place, How They Operate, and What to Consider in Establishing and Managing Them The Governance Institute, the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System at the University of Denver (IAALS), and Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution have revised the June 2010 first edition of this guide, and will continue to issue revisions periodically. It provides United States senators, other federal legislators, and their staffs with information about creating committees to screen potential judicial and law enforcement position nominees; provides them and committee members with information about committee operations; and provides others interested in federal judicial selection with information about an often- overlooked aspect of the process. It is not a “best practices” manual, in part because relatively little is known about how such committees work and even less about what seems to work best. The most current version of the guide is available at: www.du.edu/legalinstitute and www.brookings.edu/experts/wheelerr.aspx This guide was authored principally by: Russell Wheeler, president of the Governance Institute and a Visiting Fellow in the Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies program. He has served on the IAALS Board of Advisors since its creation in 2006. Rebecca Love Kourlis, executive director of IAALS. She served on Senator Ken Salazar’s screening committee and co-chaired the committee that Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet appointed to screen candidates for two District of Colorado vacancies. (Malia Reddick, director of judicial programs for the Institute, assists with ongoing revisions.) The Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) is a national, independent research center dedicated to continuous improvement of the process and culture of the civil justice system.

Respondent. _________ On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit _________ PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI _________ MATTHEW L. SCHWARTZ BOIES SCHILLER FLEXNER LLP 55 Hudson Yards, 20th Floor New York, New York 10001 (212) 446-2300 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioner i QUESTION PRESENTED The district court vacated Petitioner’s convictions for securities fraud and conspiracy and ordered a new trial after concluding that the evidence weighed so heavily against the verdict that there was a serious risk of a miscarriage of justice and that an innocent person may have been convicted. The Second Circuit reversed, holding that the district court lacked discre- tion to weigh the evidence under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33(a), unless there was eviden- tiary or instructional error or “the evidence was pa- tently incredible or defied physical realities.” The question presented is: Does Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33(a) af- ford district courts discretion to reweigh the evidence when evaluating a new trial motion, as eleven other federal courts of appeals have held, or does the rule require that a court “must defer to the jury’s resolu- tion of conflicting evidence,” unless there was eviden- tiary or instructional error or “the evidence was pa- tently incredible or defied physical realities,” as the Second Circuit held in this case? ii PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDINGS Petitioner is Devon Archer, who was defendant-ap- pellee below.
