Nathan Mowery v. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 21-2022 · judgment August 2, 2022
Certiorari denied · February 21, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 6% cert probability (95% interval 4%–9%)
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
- Whether this Court’s decision in Dep’t of the Navy v. Egan precludes any and all judicial review of agency actions involving employees with security clearances or other credentials, thereby allowing federal agencies to potentially discriminate with no safeguards in place, and deprive those employees of any internal administrative due process or external judicial review regardless of whether the relevant actions involved the exercise of predictive judgment, effectively stripping federal employees of their rights under federal anti-discrimination laws.
