Cuker Interactive, LLC v. Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, LLP
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 21-55298 · judgment March 2, 2022
Certiorari denied · March 27, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 4%–7%)
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a business petitioner, and down for a business respondent.
Question presented
Whether a federal court deciding a state-law issue in a bankruptcy case must apply the forum State’s choice-of-law rules or federal choice-of-law rules to determine what substantive law governs.
