Kari Janae Phipps v. Idaho

Paid petition · Supreme Court of Idaho, No. 46145 · judgment December 20, 2019

Certiorari denied · October 5, 2020
Pre-decision estimate: 8% cert probability (95% interval 5%–11%)

Before the decision, about 1.9× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and down for a state or local-government respondent.

Question presented

Whether the “limited authority to detain” during the execution of a judicially approved search warrant for contraband, Michigan v. Summers, 452 U.S. 692 (1981), permits probation officers conducting a routine residence check to detain any visitor present, without any suspicion the visitor has done something unlawful or poses a danger?
