David B. Porter v. F. Tyler Sergent, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 23-5944 · judgment October 29, 2024
Certiorari denied · June 6, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 4% cert probability
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a Sixth Circuit decision below, and a petition citing one or two dissents.
Question presented
May a private college which receives federal funding always rely upon a “no state action” defense in denying its employee due process or procedural fairness in a Title IX disciplinary hearing?
