Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 22-1000 · judgment August 2, 2023
Certiorari denied · January 8, 2024
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 4%–8%)
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Second Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a business respondent.
