Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 20-15638 · judgment June 16, 2021

Certiorari denied · March 7, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 6% cert probability (95% interval 4%–10%)

Before the decision, about 1.6× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel with five or more prior petitions here, a Ninth Circuit decision below, and a circuit split argued in the petition, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
