Erica Huss, Warden v. Loren Robinson

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 16-2067 · judgment August 24, 2018

Certiorari denied · February 25, 2019

Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 3%–9%)

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a state or local-government petitioner, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.

Question presented

Whether it is clearly established federal law, as is required to grant relief in a federal habeas case, that the Sixth Amendment jury right applies not only to a definite sentence (which creates an entitlement to be released at the end of that sentence) but also to a parole-eligibility date.
