Even if it were via separate petition, it would then be a civil case like federal habeas corpus petitions concerning state law convictions, which are also reviewable. <br />2. You left out the vast middle that are neither settled nor tried but are resolved (or partially resolved) on dispositive motion practice. Reviewable. <br />3. The 9th Circuit is reversed 70-80% (or more) of the time where it is reviewed. The district court's rulings are almost all appealable as of right. The 9th's aren't. No matter how wrong the 9th is, the Supreme Court only takes 70 or so cases a year. It ignores most errors of the appellate courts because it doesn't have time for them. It only takes cases of national importance or where there is a circuit split. It doesn't even take all of those.

Last year 2,849 civil cases were resolved, but only about 1% went to trial. There were 506 criminal cases and only a fraction of those went to trial. 3. The 9th Circuit is not reversed 70 to 80% of the time. Last year the 9th Circuit completed over 12,000 cases. The Supreme Court has been hearing about 80 cases a year. Even if 100% of the cert. grants were in 9th Circuit cases, and 100% of the cert. grants resulted in reversal (neither of which is remotely close to true, but that's your best case scenario), there would only be reversals in less than 1% of the 9th Circuit cases. There are a handful of summary reversals each year, but not many. http://www.uscourts.gov/statistics-reports/statistical-tables-federal-judiciary-june-2015Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-55098106519665369452016-03-25T09:42:03.762-07:002016-03-25T09:42:03.762-07:00Until you mentioned that, I thought his link went ...Until you mentioned that, I thought his link went to "Brothel lawyers."

Settled cases are a relatively small fraction. Also, the 9th is itself reversed 70-80% of the time, very often unanimously and summarily without argument, so getting reversed by the 9th is not a good way to identify a bad judge.
