Certiorari denied · November 4, 2024
Pre-decision estimate: 1% cert probability

Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.

Question presented

Whether the Eleventh Circuit erred in holding that - even when an arbitral panel imposed punitive and dispositive sanctions in disregard of a party’s due process rights – the federal court could not vacate under the “manifest disregard of the law” doctrine?
