Ochoa v. Collier
Petition for certiorari denied on February 7, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether a state actor can insulate unconstitutional policies and practices from judicial review by asserting that the upcoming execution of the plaintiff serves as an irrefutable endpoint to any harm, rendering the state actor’s policies and practices non-justiciable; and (2) whether a state actor violates a death row inmate’s due process rights when it interferes in the clemency process by preventing the condemned individual from submitting evidence to support his request for clemency.
