Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 23-10395 · judgment July 8, 2024
Before the decision, about 1.7× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Fifth Circuit decision 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.
Question presented
The Questions Presented are: I. Whether this Court’s holding in Leatherman v. Tarrant Cnty. Narcotics Intel. and Coordination Unit, 507 U.S. 163 (1993) is applicable to a § 1983 pleading in which deliberate indifference of a governmental entity is asserted because of a pattern of constitutional violations committed by the same officer. II. Whether the similarity requirement to show an actionable pattern of constitutional violations under this Court’s interpretation of § 1983’s deliberate indifference in Connick v. Thompson, 563 U.S. 51 (2011) only requires the same constitutional violations committed in the same way, or whether those previous actions must be factually identical.
