Google, Inc., et al. v. John Doe, et al.

Paid petition · Court of Appeal of California, First Appellate District, No. A157097 · judgment September 21, 2020


Certiorari denied · October 12, 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, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and a business petitioner.

Question presented

Where plaintiff has sought and obtained relief under the National Labor Relations Act, does the Act preempt plaintiff’s state-law claim for penalties for the same conduct?
