Monica Voss v. Gregory G. Goode

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 19-20167 · judgment March 24, 2020

Certiorari denied · November 2, 2020

Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability

Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Fifth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and counsel who has filed here before, and down for a petition filed soon after the judgment below.

Questions presented

Whether an appellate court may, sua sponte, impute the actions of a third party to a § 1983 claimant as the sole basis for extending qualified immunity for an unlawful Fourth Amendment seizure.
Whether the right to be free from arrest for disagreeing with a police officer, when the conduct consists of speech alone, is clearly established.
