Betty R. Shipley v. Helping Hands Therapy, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 19-13812 · judgment May 6, 2021


Certiorari denied · January 18, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 7% cert probability (95% interval 5%–11%)

Before the decision, about 1.7× 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 the court of appeals has jurisdiction to review an order remanding a case to state court based on a procedural defect, when the plaintiff files a motion to remand within 30 days of the notice of removal but articulates the procedural defect in a reply more than 30 days after the notice of removal.
