Recent Decisions


February 21, 2025
         
Williams v. Reed (23-191)
Where a state court’s application of a state exhaustion requirement in effect immunizes state officials from 42 U. S. C. §1983 claims challenging delays in the administrative process, state courts may not deny those claims on failure-to-exhaust grounds.

         
Wisconsin Bell, Inc. v. United States ex rel. Heath (23-1127)
The E-Rate reimbursement requests at issue are “claims” under the False Claims Act because the Government “provided” (at a minimum) a “portion” of the money applied for by transferring more than $100 million from the Treasury into the Fund. 31 U. S. C. §3729(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I).

         
Hungary v. Simon (23-867)
An allegation that a foreign sovereign liquidated expropriated property, commingled the proceeds with other funds, and then used some of those commingled funds for commercial activities in the United States cannot alone satisfy the commercial nexus requirement of the expropriation exception in the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976.



January 21, 2025
       
Andrew v. White (23-6573) (Per Curiam)
At the time of the decision of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, clearly established federal law provided that the erroneous admission of unduly prejudicial evidence could render a criminal trial fundamentally unfair in violation of due process, see Payne v. Tennessee, 501 U. S. 808, 825 (1991); the judgment below is vacated and the case is remanded for further proceedings.

Mr. and Mrs. Warren E. ‘Brrrr’-ger


Growing up in St. Paul, Minnesota, future Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and his wife-to-be, Elvera Stromberg, were no strangers to winter weather. On a 20 F day in January 1933, the couple joined Betty Blackmun, sister of Warren’s good friend Harry, for a sledding session at Minnehaha Falls Regional Park. In November of that year, the couple were married in the Stromberg family’s Minnesota home. During the ceremony, fellow future Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun stood as Burger’s best man—a testament to their lifelong friendship. In response to the couple’s happy union, Blackmun opined, “There are a few things in life worthwhile, after all.”
