Laura Akahoshi, former Chief Compliance Officer v. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 23-938 · judgment October 21, 2024


Certiorari denied · March 24, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 7% cert probability (95% interval 5%–10%)

Before the decision, about 1.7× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and counsel who has filed here before.

Question presented

The question presented is: Does the target of an enforcement action brought by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have standing to petition for meaningful federal court review of the agency’s orders and proceedings, where the final decision condemned her alleged conduct and tacitly rejected her constitutional and legal objections to the forum and proceedings but dismissed the action without imposing a monetary sanction or formal prohibition order?
