Texas Democratic Party, et al., Appellants v. Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, et al.

Paid petition · United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, No. SA-11-CV-360 · judgment August 15, 2017

Dismissed · January 16, 2018
Pre-decision estimate: 18% cert probability (95% interval 9%–34%)

Before the decision, about 4.4× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a direct appeal from a three-judge district court (mandatory jurisdiction) and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
