Antonio L. Saulsberry v. Randy Lee, Warden

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 17-6157 · judgment August 30, 2019

Certiorari denied · October 21, 2019

Before the decision, about 1.5× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a petition filed soon after the judgment below, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and a Sixth Circuit decision below, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
