Nevada Irrigation District, et al. v. California State Water Resources Control Board, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 20-72432, 20-72452, 20-72782, 20-72800, 20-72958, 20-72973 · judgment August 4, 2022

Certiorari denied · May 15, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 8% cert probability (95% interval 5%–12%)

Before the decision, about 1.9× 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 state or local-government respondent.
