Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 18-16012 · judgment March 31, 2020

Certiorari denied · January 11, 2021
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 4%–8%)

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a Ninth Circuit decision below, and a business petitioner, and down for a business respondent.
