Klein v. Martin (25-51) (Per Curiam)
Because the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the award of a new trial based on reasoning that departed from the strict standards that govern the grant of federal habeas relief to prisoners convicted in state court prescribed by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, the Court grants the State’s petition for a writ of certiorari and reverses the judgment below.

A Match Made in Utah


In the fall of 1880, love was in the air at Brigham Young Academy. That year, Rose Lee, secretary of the school’s Polysophical Society, met George Sutherland, chairman of the society’s Scientific Section (and future Supreme Court Justice). The couple were married on June 18, 1883, and were issued this marriage certificate by the Territory of Utah. Such territorial matrimonial civil records are rare because Utah was made a state only 13 years later. It was common for ornate late 19th-century marriage certificates to feature portraits of the bride and groom. Yet, the Sutherland newlyweds seemingly elected to leave their oval picture frames blank. Ultimately, the two were married for 59 years and raised three children together.
