Samer Ali-Hasan v. St. Peter's Health Partners Medical Associates, P.C., et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 22-2669 · judgment November 7, 2023


Certiorari denied · April 15, 2024
Pre-decision estimate: 9% cert probability (95% interval 6%–15%)

Before the decision, about 2.2× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a Second Circuit decision below, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a business respondent.

Questions presented

  1. Does an employer violate Title VII when it terminates a physician’s employment based on an accusation of sex discrimination that the employer knows is untrue?

  2. Is there a division of opinion in the Circuit and District Courts on this issue?
