Amanuel Gebrengus Atsemet v. Texas

Paid petition · Court of Appeals of Texas, Eleventh District, No. 11-18-00053-CR · judgment April 30, 2020

Certiorari denied · May 24, 2021
Pre-decision estimate: 4% cert probability

Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, counsel who has filed here before, and a petition citing one or two dissents, and down for a state or local-government respondent.

Question presented

When applying the “totality of the circumstances” test for reasonable suspicion in a state that has criminalized marijuana, does the consideration of an out-ofstate license plate from a jurisdiction that has legalized marijuana violate the constitutional right to travel?
