Louis Agre, et al., Appellants v. Thomas W. Wolf, Governor of Pennsylvania, et al.

Paid petition · United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, No. 17-cv-4392 · judgment January 10, 2018


Dismissed · May 29, 2018
Pre-decision estimate: 24% cert probability (95% interval 11%–42%)

Before the decision, about 5.7× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a direct appeal from a three-judge district court (mandatory jurisdiction), a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and a circuit split argued in the petition, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
