Chase Yarbrough v. Santa Fe Independent School District, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 21-40519 · judgment March 25, 2022
Certiorari denied · October 3, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 3%–8%)
Before the decision, modestly above 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 state or local-government respondent.
Question presented
- Whether this Court should resolve a Circuit split on the “state-created danger” theory of a constitutional duty to protect citizens from a nonstate actor.
