Certiorari denied · February 22, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 12% cert probability (95% interval 8%–17%)
Before the decision, about 2.9× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a Ninth Circuit decision below, and a circuit split argued in the petition, and down for a business respondent.
