Hmm there is some hope if there is ever a tier system here and we are placed in some bs category without due process.

“Abdullah said he received a rehearing in 2005 after a successful class action lawsuit for defendants who received seemingly gratuitous level placement.”

Otherwise excellent article.

I know his Attorney, Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma, and I’m glad to read that there was success in his court case at least.

However, the article doesn’t make it clear if this person received a Downward Departure from a Level 2 to a Level 1.

Articles says “In the mean time, Abdullah said his charge continues to affect him in a variety of ways. He said he and Mary considered moving closer to her siblings in Arizona or California”

Oh no no! Please don’t move to California. You’re just jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

The article states that he was able to go from Level 3 to Level 2, then to Level 1 in 1991: “For years, Abdullah said he felt too depressed to try and fight his level two classification. Yet when he finally challenged it, he received a level one categorization in a decision that applauded him for his achievements since entering his guilty plea in 1991.”
