Washington County, Utah v. Martin Crowson

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, No. 19-4118 · judgment December 29, 2020

Certiorari denied · October 4, 2021

Pre-decision estimate: 6% cert probability (95% interval 4%–10%)

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 a Tenth Circuit decision below.

Question presented

Whether a municipal government can be liable under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution for a denial of inmate medical care under § 1983 when none of the government’s employees or officials acted with deliberate indifference towards the inmate’s serious medical needs?
