Michael Brooks v. Illinois

Paid petition · Supreme Court of Illinois, No. 121413 · judgment November 30, 2017

Certiorari denied · March 26, 2018
Pre-decision estimate: 4% cert probability

Before the decision, roughly 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 a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a state or local-government respondent.

Question presented

  1. Did the Illinois Supreme Court err in finding the act of forcibly arresting, handcuffing and escorting a suspect to the hospital, by police, where his blood is drawn, to not be “state action” under the fourth and fourteenth amendments to the United States Constitution?
