Fort Peck Housing Authority, et al. v. Department of Housing and Urban Development, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, No. 14-1407, 15-1060 · judgment December 22, 2017


Certiorari denied · October 1, 2018
Pre-decision estimate: 11% cert probability (95% interval 6%–20%)

Before the decision, about 2.8× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a state or local-government petitioner, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).

Question presented
