Henry McInnis v. United States

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 20-40869 · judgment March 24, 2022

Certiorari denied · October 3, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 7% cert probability (95% interval 5%–11%)

Before the decision, about 1.8× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Fifth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.

Question presented

Did the lower court err in finding pervasive fraud as to “false” hospice certifications—following the Third Circuit as opposed to the Eleventh Circuit— thereby expanding regulatory liability contrary to the Social Security Act and First Amendment?
