Hamm v. Smith · ¶162

In short, the Eleventh Circuit's 2023 analysis was indefensible. In determining whether Smith satisfied a 70-IQ cutoff, the court focused on the lower bound of the confidence interval for Smith's lowest score—the least plausible region of the interval for what was likely Smith's least accurate score. Because this Court was troubled by this deeply fawed approach, we summarily vacated the Eleventh Cir- cuit's decision last Term. Hamm, 604 U. S., at 1–3.
