Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, No. 19-1739 · judgment February 22, 2021


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

Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a First Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a state or local-government respondent.

Question presented
