Docket 25-365 · United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
In Trump v. Barbara (docket 25-365), the Court held that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause grants U.S. citizenship at birth to children born in the United States whose parents are unlawfully or temporarily present. The First Circuit’s decision was affirmed on June 30, 2026.
Bradley Little, Governor of Idaho, et al. v. Lindsay Hecox, et al.
Docket 24-38 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit and remanded, allowing Idaho’s law that prevents transgender girls from competing on girls’ K–12 and college teams to proceed. The decision narrows the claims available to challengers and signals deference to state athletic classifications tied to biological sex.
West Virginia, et al. v. B. P. J., By Her Next Friend and Mother, Heather Jackson
Docket 24-43 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
The Court held that Title IX permits schools to operate separate male and female sports teams defined by biological sex at birth and that states’ rules doing so do not violate the Equal Protection Clause. The judgment from the Fourth Circuit was reversed and the case remanded.
National Republican Senatorial Committee, et al. v. Federal Election Commission, et al.
Docket 24-621 · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
The Supreme Court reversed the Sixth Circuit and held that 52 U.S.C. §30116(d), which limits how much a political party may spend on campaign communications when coordinated with its candidates, violates the First Amendment. The decision was handed down June 30, 2026, in National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC.
Okello T. Chatrie v. United States
Docket 25-112 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
The Court held that police conduct a Fourth Amendment search when they obtain a person’s historical cell‑phone location data from a provider under a geofence warrant because individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their phone location information. The case was vacated and sent back to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with the decision.
Michael Watson, Mississippi Secretary of State v. Republican National Committee, et al.
Docket 24-1260 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court held that federal election-day statutes do not bar Mississippi from counting absentee ballots that were postmarked by Election Day and received up to five days later. The Fifth Circuit judgment was reversed and the case remanded.
STAY TRUMP V. COOK
Docket 25A312 · USCA-DC
On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court denied the government's emergency request to stay a lower court's preliminary injunction that blocks the attempted removal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The Court refused to pause the district court’s order while litigation over her removal proceeds.
Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter
Docket 25-332 · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
The Court held that the Federal Trade Commission’s statutory protection that limits the President’s ability to remove commissioners for cause violates the Constitution’s separation of powers. The decision reverses the D.C. Circuit and sends the case back for further proceedings..
Markwayne Mullin, Secretary, Department of Homeland Security, et al. v. Dahlia Doe, et al.
Docket 25-1083 · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
The Court held that a federal statute (8 U.S.C. §1254a(b)(5)(A)) bars judicial review of nonconstitutional claims challenging the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The Court also found respondents’ equal-protection claim—that the termination of Haiti’s TPS was driven by race—was unlikely to succeed and remanded the cases to the lower court.
Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, et al.
Docket 25-1084 · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
The Supreme Court reversed and remanded the D.C. Circuit’s decision, holding that the president has immunity for official acts tied to immigration enforcement. The decision narrows circumstances in which private plaintiffs can sue a sitting president for actions taken in an official capacity.
Monsanto Company v. John L. Durnell
Docket 24-1068 · Court of Appeals of Missouri, Eastern District
The Supreme Court held that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) preempts a Missouri state-law failure-to-warn claim that would force Monsanto to add a cancer warning to Roundup's label. The Court reversed and remanded the lower court's judgment.
Markwayne Mullin, Secretary of Homeland Security, et al. v. Al Otro Lado, a California Corporation, et al.
Docket 25-5 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court held that under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), an alien “arrives in the United States” — and therefore may apply for asylum and must be inspected by immigration officers — only after crossing the border into U.S. territory. The Ninth Circuit judgment was reversed and remanded.
Jason Wolford, et al. v. Anne E. Lopez, Attorney General of Hawaii
Docket 24-1046 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court held that Hawaii’s law forbidding licensed concealed-carry permit holders from carrying handguns on private property that is open to the public unless the property owner gives express permission violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. The Ninth Circuit’s judgment was reversed and the case remanded.
Cisco Systems, Inc., et al. v. Doe I, et al.
Docket 24-856 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court reversed the Ninth Circuit, ruling that federal courts may not judicially create new private causes of action under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) for aiding and abetting, and that neither the ATS nor the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA) imposes aiding-and-abetting liability. The case involved claims against Cisco and other companies for providing services allegedly used in foreign human-rights abuses.
Todd Blanche, Acting Attorney General v. Muk Choi Lau
Docket 25-429 · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
The Court held that the Immigration and Nationality Act does not require border officers to have clear and convincing evidence that a lawful permanent resident (LPR) committed a crime involving moral turpitude before treating that resident as an "applicant for admission." The case was vacated and remanded to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
Michael Pung, Personal Representative of the Estate of Timothy Scott Pung v. Isabella County, Michigan
Docket 25-95 · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
The Court held that when a government conducts a fair tax foreclosure sale, the auction sale price is the proper baseline for calculating "just compensation" under the Takings Clause. The Court vacated the lower-court judgment and remanded for further proceedings, and found no Eighth Amendment excessive-fines violation on the record before it.
Exxon Mobil Corporation v. Corporación Cimex, S.A. (Cuba), et al.
Docket 24-699 · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
The Court held that the Helms-Burton Act removes sovereign immunity for Cuban agencies and instrumentalities, permitting U.S. nationals to sue them in U.S. courts for trafficking in property confiscated in 1960. The case was reversed and remanded to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with that holding.
Damon Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections and Public Safety, et al.
Docket 23-1197 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court held that state employees cannot be sued in their personal capacities under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) unless they voluntarily and knowingly consented to be sued under a federal Spending Clause statute. The decision affirms the Fifth Circuit and limits personal-capacity damages claims against state officials under RLUIPA.
T. M. v. University of Maryland Medical System Corporation, et al.
Docket 25-197 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
The Court held the Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars federal district-court jurisdiction over claims by state-court losers that complain of injuries caused by state-court judgments and seek federal review or relief, even when the state-court decision is still subject to further review in state court. The Fourth Circuit ruling was affirmed.
Munson P. Hunter, III v. United States
Docket 24-1063 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court held that plea agreement appeal waivers are unenforceable when enforcing them would produce a miscarriage of justice — i.e., when an egregious legal error would remain uncorrected and undermine confidence in the system. The case was vacated and remanded to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with that standard.
United States v. Ali Danial Hemani
Docket 24-1234 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Supreme Court held that prosecuting Ali Hemani under 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(3) for possessing a gun while an unlawful user of controlled substances is inconsistent with the Second Amendment. The Court affirmed in part and issued an opinion explaining the constitutional limits of §922(g)(3).
Ahmad Abouammo v. United States
Docket 25-5146 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court unanimously reversed and remanded, holding that for convictions under 18 U.S.C. §1519 (knowingly falsifying documents with intent to obstruct a federal investigation), venue is proper only in the district where the falsification occurred. The United States cannot prosecute in a district that only might experience effects contemplated by the statute.
Thomas Keathley v. Buddy Ayers Construction, Incorporated
Docket 25-6 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court unanimously vacated the Fifth Circuit and remanded, holding that courts deciding whether a party’s failure to list a claim in bankruptcy was inadvertent should consider the totality of the circumstances. The Fifth Circuit had applied the wrong standard when finding judicial estoppel barred the claim.
FS Credit Opportunities Corp., et al. v. Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd., et al.
Docket 24-345 · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
The Court ruled that Section 47(b) of the Investment Company Act does not impliedly allow private parties to bring rescission lawsuits for contracts that allegedly violate the Act. The decision reverses the Second Circuit and remands the case for further proceedings consistent with that holding.
Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., et al. v. Amarin Pharma, Inc., et al.
Docket 24-889 · United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
The Court unanimously reversed the Federal Circuit and held that Amarin’s complaint did not plausibly allege that Hikma induced infringement of Amarin’s patented uses. Because Hikma’s label excluded the patented use, Amarin’s allegations about calling the product “generic” and citing public sales data were insufficient to survive a motion to dismiss under 35 U.S.C. §271(b).
Federal Communications Commission, et al. v. AT&T, Inc.
Docket 25-406 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court held that the FCC’s monetary forfeiture process does not violate the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial because those orders do not finally resolve private legal obligations and the FCC’s factual findings are not conclusive. The decision reverses the Fifth Circuit and sends the case back for further proceedings.
Verizon Communications Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission, et al.
Docket 25-567 · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
The Supreme Court affirmed that the Federal Communications Commission may assess monetary forfeiture penalties against telecommunications carriers for violating the Communications Act’s customer‑privacy protections. The decision upholds the FCC’s power to enforce requirements that carriers take reasonable measures to protect certain customer proprietary network information.
Ongkaruck Sripetch v. Securities and Exchange Commission
Docket 25-466 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court unanimously held the Securities and Exchange Commission does not need to prove investors suffered monetary losses before obtaining disgorgement in its civil enforcement actions under 15 U.S.C. §78u(d)(5) or §78u(d)(7). The Ninth Circuit’s decision in favor of the SEC was affirmed.
Terry Pitchford v. Burl Cain, Commissioner, Mississippi Department of Corrections, et al.
Docket 24-7351 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court reversed and remanded Terry Pitchford’s death-penalty case, finding the Mississippi Supreme Court unreasonably applied Batson when it held Pitchford waived his right to rebut a prosecutor’s race-based use of peremptory strikes against Black prospective jurors. The decision enforces clearly established protections against racial discrimination in jury selection.
Flowers Foods, Inc., et al. v. Angelo Brock
Docket 24-935 · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
The Court unanimously held that the Federal Arbitration Act’s §1 exemption can cover workers who handle goods that move in interstate commerce even if those workers only make local, intrastate deliveries and never cross state lines. The decision affirms the Tenth Circuit and revers the district court’s dismissal of the worker’s claims.
Daniel Rutherford v. United States
Docket 24-820 · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
The Court held that a sentencing disparity caused by Congress’s decision not to make a later sentencing change retroactive is not an “extraordinary and compelling reason” for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. §3582(c)(1)(A)(i). The Third Circuit’s decision in favor of the government was affirmed.
Johnnie Markel Carter v. United States
Docket 24-860 · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
The Court held that district courts may not expand the list of "extraordinary and compelling" reasons for reducing federal sentences beyond what Congress gave the Sentencing Commission authority to prescribe. The Third Circuit’s decision in favor of a broader judicial power was reversed and the judgment affirmed.
Joe Fernandez v. United States
Docket 24-556 · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
The Court held that prisoners who want to challenge the validity of their conviction must use the statutory postconviction remedy (28 U.S.C. §2255), not the compassionate‑release statute (18 U.S.C. §3582). An alleged invalid conviction is not an "extraordinary and compelling" reason to shorten a sentence under §3582. The Second Circuit’s decision affirming dismissal was upheld.
Havana Docks Corporation v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., et al.
Docket 24-983 · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
The Court vacated the Eleventh Circuit judgment and remanded a Title III suit brought by Havana Docks alleging that cruise lines trafficked in property confiscated by Cuba. The justices delivered an opinion clarifying how Title III applies to private defendants and the required connection between defendants' conduct and confiscated property.
M & K Employee Solutions, LLC, et al. v. Trustees of the IAM National Pension Fund
Docket 23-1209 · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
The Court unanimously held that ERISA does not require pension funds to use actuarial assumptions that reflect the withdrawing employer’s particular circumstances when calculating withdrawal liability for underfunded multiemployer plans. The decision affirms the D.C. Circuit and lets plans rely on standard actuarial projections.
John Q. Hamm, Commissioner, Alabama Department of Corrections v. Joseph Clifton Smith
Docket 24-872 · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
The Court dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted, leaving in place the lower‑court posture and avoiding a national decision on whether a State may demand a showing of IQ of 70 or less by a preponderance of the evidence to prove intellectual disability under Atkins. Justices Sotomayor and Jackson concurred; Justice Thomas dissented.
Adrian Jules v. Andre Balazs Properties, et al.
Docket 25-83 · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
The Court unanimously held that when a federal court stays a case under Section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), that same court has jurisdiction to hear later Section 9 or 10 applications to confirm or vacate an arbitration award arising from the stayed claims. The decision answers a jurisdictional question left open after Badgerow v. Walters (2022).
Shawn Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, et al.
Docket 24-1238 · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
The Court unanimously held that a state-law negligent-hiring claim tied to a truck crash is not barred by the federal statute that generally preempts state laws "related to a price, route, or service" of motor carriers. The decision reversed the Seventh Circuit and sent the case back for further proceedings.
First Choice Women's Resource Centers, Inc. v. Jennifer Davenport, Attorney General of New Jersey
Docket 24-781 · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
The Court held that a New Jersey Attorney General subpoena seeking most donor names from a faith-based pregnancy center caused an immediate injury to the center’s First Amendment associational rights and supported a federal §1983 suit. The Court reversed the Third Circuit and remanded for further proceedings.
Louisiana v. Phillip Callais, et al.
Docket 24-109 · United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana
The Court decided that Louisiana unconstitutionally used race as the predominant factor when enacting S.B. 8 and that the map failed strict scrutiny. The Court found the Voting Rights Act did not require creating an additional majority‑minority district.
Press Robinson, et al. v. Phillip Callais, et al.
Docket 24-110 · United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana
The Court decided whether Louisiana’s state legislature drew Congressional District 6 with race as the dominant factor, rather than politics, and whether the lower court properly judged the legislature’s intent. The case was argued twice and the Court issued a decision on April 29, 2026.
Enbridge Energy, LP, et al. v. Dana Nessel, Attorney General of Michigan, on Behalf of the People of the State of Michigan
Docket 24-783 · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
The Court unanimously held that the 30‑day statutory deadline for removing a case to federal court under 28 U.S.C. §1446(b)(1) cannot be excused by equitable tolling. Enbridge’s late removal was untimely and the Sixth Circuit’s ruling for Michigan was affirmed.
Winston Tyler Hencely v. Fluor Corporation, et al.
Docket 24-924 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
The Court ruled that the federal government’s control over a military base did not automatically preempt state-law tort claims against a private contractor whose actions contributed to a suicide bombing at Bagram Airfield. The case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
Chevron USA Incorporated, et al. v. Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, et al.
Docket 24-813 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court vacated the Fifth Circuit and remanded, holding Chevron plausibly showed its oil-production activities were closely related to its federal contract to refine aviation gasoline, satisfying the federal-officer removal statute. The case returns to the lower courts for further proceedings. Justice Alito did not participate.
Kaley Chiles v. Patty Salazar, in Her Official Capacity as Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, et al.
Docket 24-539 · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
The Court reversed the Tenth Circuit, holding that Colorado’s law banning so-called “conversion therapy” as applied to a Christian counselor’s talk therapy regulates speech based on viewpoint. The lower courts should have applied stricter First Amendment review.
Cox Communications, Inc., et al. v. Sony Music Entertainment, et al.
Docket 24-171 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
The Court reversed the Fourth Circuit and held that Cox Communications was not contributorily liable for subscribers’ copyright infringement. The decision says an internet service provider (ISP) must do more than know about infringing use and fail to disconnect users — there must be evidence it induced or intentionally fostered infringement.
Isabel Rico v. United States
Docket 24-1056 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court held the Sentencing Reform Act does not allow an automatic extension (fugitive-tolling) of supervised release when a person fails to report to probation. The judgment of the Ninth Circuit was reversed and the case remanded.
Gabriel Olivier v. City of Brandon, Mississippi
Docket 24-993 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court unanimously held that Heck v. Humphrey does not bar civil-rights suits that seek only prospective relief (like injunctions) even if the plaintiff was previously punished under the law being challenged. Gabriel Olivier may proceed with an injunction challenge to a Brandon, Mississippi ordinance despite a prior conviction under that law.
