Ali Al-Maqablh v. Crystal L. Heinz, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 19-5548 · judgment January 4, 2022
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
After Respondents’ prosecution of Petitioner terminated without a conviction, Petitioner brought a claim against them under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for malicious prosecution. The courts below rejected Petitioner’s claim on the ground that the prosecution terminated in a manner that did not affirmatively indicate his innocence or demonstrate that a conviction had become improbable. In Thompson v. Clark, 142 S. Ct. 1332 (2022), this Court held that, to satisfy the favorable-termination requirement for a malicious-prosecution claim under § 1983, a plaintiff “need only show that his prosecution ended without a conviction.” The sole question presented is whether the Sixth Circuit’s decision should be vacated and remanded for reconsideration in light of Thompson.
