Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, No. 23-3037 · judgment June 2, 2023


Certiorari denied · December 11, 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 D.C. Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and counsel who has filed here before.

Question presented

Whether DEA Special Agent Mark Sami Ibrahim raised a colorable claim of a legislated immunity in the text of the statute and regulation granting Federal law enforcement officers a right not to be tried, such that the Court of Appeals must review the merits of an interlocutory appeal from denial of a motion to dismiss.
