Maryland Shall Issue, Inc., et al v. Wes Moore, Governor of Maryland, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 21-2017 · judgment August 23, 2024

Certiorari denied · January 13, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 21% cert probability (95% interval 13%–33%)

Before the decision, about 5.2× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a petition filed soon after the judgment below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and down for a state or local-government respondent.
