Certiorari denied · October 6, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 1% cert probability

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

Questions presented

  1. Whether the Indiana courts below violated Petitioner’s Fourteenth and Seventh Amendment rights by barring her from pursuing a common law cause of action against third-party tortfeasors, where the tortfeasors are a separate and independent corporation and its employee.

  2. Whether the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the lower courts from relying upon a judicial fiction in creating “joint employer” status simply because separate and distinct sibling subsidiary entities are owned by the same corporate parent.
