Opinion Timing
Stay lifted — the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia answered the certified question on May 21, 2026.
A merits opinion is likely between November 4, 2026 and July 17, 2027, with December 24, 2026 the midpoint.
With the state-law question resolved, the Fourth Circuit can now decide the appeal (the question was certified on July 19, 2024). It is now running later than most comparable post-answer waits.
This is a coarse fixed prior (a ~75-day median measured from the answer date), not the case-specific survival model the rest of the site uses: certified-question cases are far too rare to fit one. It is shown only to set rough expectations.
