William Andreoli, et al. v. Youngevity International Corporation, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 18-55031 · judgment January 24, 2019

Certiorari denied · October 7, 2019
Pre-decision estimate: 7% cert probability (95% interval 5%–10%)

Before the decision, about 1.7× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and down for a business respondent.

Question presented

Whether federal courts of appeals lack interlocutory appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and the collateral order doctrine to review the denial of a motion to strike under a state anti-SLAPP statute, as the Second Circuit has held, or whether federal appellate courts have such jurisdiction as the Fifth and Ninth Circuits have held.
