Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 18-15051 · judgment August 17, 2020

Certiorari denied · October 4, 2021

Pre-decision estimate: 8% cert probability (95% interval 6%–11%)

Before the decision, about 2× 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).

Question presented
