City of Sparks, Nevada, et al. v. Rosa Ester Brizuela, Individually and as Special Administrator of the Estate of Rolando Antonio Brizuela, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 22-16357 · judgment August 21, 2023
Before the decision, about 2.7× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a state or local-government petitioner, a Ninth Circuit decision below, and a circuit split argued in the petition.
Questions presented
These are the questions presented:
-
Did the Ninth Circuit err by holding that the community-owned areas in front of a multifamily dwelling constituted curtilage, contrary to its own precedent, the precedent of the Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits, as well as the precedent of many state-level supreme courts?
-
Alternatively, is the law clearly established that the community-owned areas in front of a multi-family dwelling constitute curtilage, despite this split of authority?
