Supreme Court of the United States · Official docket →

GeLab Cosmetics LLC v. Zhuhai Aobo Cosmetics Co., Ltd., et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 23-1415 · judgment April 24, 2024


Certiorari denied · January 13, 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 petition filed soon after the judgment below, and a business petitioner, and down for a business respondent.

Question presented

Whether the Seventh Circuit erred in affirming the district court’s stay of federal proceedings under the Colorado River doctrine when substantial doubt exists as to whether the state court proceedings will fully resolve the federal action, deepening a conflict among circuits on the necessity of exact parallelism between state and federal proceedings.
