Florida v. United States

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 17-13595 · judgment September 17, 2019

Certiorari denied · October 3, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability

Before the decision, modestly above 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 an Eleventh Circuit decision below.

Question presented

Whether Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which grants any “person alleging discrimination” certain “remedies, procedures, and rights,” 42 U.S.C. § 12133, authorizes the United States to sue the states in its own name.
