Antero Ramos v. Firestone Building Products Company, LLC

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 17-13070 · judgment September 6, 2018

Certiorari denied · April 15, 2019
Pre-decision estimate: 6% cert probability (95% interval 3%–9%)

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, an Eleventh Circuit decision below, and counsel who has filed here before, and down for a business respondent.

Questions presented

This case presents two questions:

  1. If a client is blameless, is a lawyer’s gross neglect of the client’s case a basis for relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(6)? (7-2 circuit split)

  2. Should the district court’s summary judgment order be vacated?
