William F. Nored, et ux., as Conservators, Parents, and Next Friends of William F. Nored, Jr. v. Tennessee Department of Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 21-5826 · judgment September 9, 2022


Certiorari denied · February 21, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 6% cert probability (95% interval 3%–10%)

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, counsel who has filed here before, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a state or local-government respondent.

Question presented

Whether the Tennessee Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities has a nondelegable duty to enforce The Medicaid Act, 42 U.S.C. §1396, et seq.
