Jeremy Johnson v. Andre D. Boyd
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 20-50945 · judgment July 24, 2023
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Fifth Circuit decision below, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and counsel who has filed here before.
Question presented
I. Whether circuit court precedent can clearly establish the law for the purpose of qualified immunity analysis, and, if so, under what circumstances can it do so. II. Whether the Supreme Court should heed the concerns of multiple sitting Fifth Circuit judges and repair the uncertainty and confusion the Fifth Circuit has created through its conflicting and indeterminate precedents relating to split-second useof-force decisions.
