Bowe Marvin v. David Holcomb, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 22-2757 · judgment July 11, 2023


Certiorari denied · January 8, 2024
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability

Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel with five or more prior petitions here, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.

Questions presented

  1. Whether there is a “Grab-Him-and-ThrowHim-Out-of-the-House” exception to requiring probable cause of a felony for in-home arrests without a warrant?

  2. Whether excessive force is allowed regardless of whether there was a probable cause to arrest in the first place?
