The Estate of Dillon Taylor, et al. v. Salt Lake City, Utah, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, No. 19-4085 · judgment October 26, 2021

Certiorari denied · October 3, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 2% cert probability

Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.

Questions presented

  1. Whether the Tenth Circuit impermissibly expanded the judicially-created doctrine of qualified immunity to shield an officer where there is a substantial and material dispute in the evidence.

  2. Whether the Tenth Circuit majority impermissibly usurped the role of the jury by resolving material factual disputes in favor of the moving party on a motion for summary judgment.

  3. Whether the Tenth Circuit erred in holding that an officer is entitled to qualified immunity on summary judgment where there is a genuine dispute of fact as to whether his use of excessive force was the result of his own reckless or deliberate actions.
