Nicholas Crystal v. Calvin Johnson, Warden, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 22-16294 · judgment June 15, 2023
Before the decision, about 1.8× 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 dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Question presented
