Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 17-50337 · judgment May 16, 2019

Certiorari denied · March 2, 2020

Pre-decision estimate: 3% cert probability

Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.

Questions presented

Whether, upon invalidating one of two alternative theories of liability presented to a jury, the reviewing court should ask if there is “sufficient evidence” to justify predicating liability on the remaining theory of liability; a “reasonable probability” that the jury so found; or “evidence beyond a reasonable doubt” that the jury so found?
Whether Congress, pursuant to its authority over foreign affairs and immigration, can dictate to states how to structure their own political processes?
