Katherine Fernandez-Rundle v. James Eric McDonough

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 15-14642 · judgment July 12, 2017

Certiorari denied · June 4, 2018

Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and an Eleventh Circuit decision below.

Question presented

Whether a potential criminal defendant may obtain relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by establishing only that a future state prosecution would run afoul of state law, without establishing any violation of a right secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
