Christopher N. Payne v. Jahal Taslimi, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 18-7030 · judgment May 27, 2021
Before the decision, modestly above 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 counsel who has filed here before.
Question presented
Do inmates have a constitutional right to privacy in their HIV status, as the Second, Third, and Sixth Circuits have held (subject to legitimate penological interests), or is there no such right, as the Fourth Circuit ruled in this case?
