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.

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.
Donald J. Trump, President of the United States v. Lisa D. Cook, Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, et al.
Docket 25A312 · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit

Docket 25-332 · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit

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 statute generally bars judicial review of non-constitutional claims about Temporary Protected Status (TPS) decisions, and concluded respondents’ race-based equal protection claim challenging the termination of Haiti’s TPS is unlikely to succeed. The case was reversed and remanded to lower courts.
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

Docket 24-1068 · Court of Appeals of Missouri, Eastern District
The Court held that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) preempts a state-law failure-to-warn claim that would force Monsanto to add a cancer warning to Roundup labels. The decision reverses a Missouri court and sends the case back for further proceedings.
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” only when they cross the border into U.S. territory. People stopped on the Mexican side of the border do not qualify as having “arrived” for §§1158 and 1225, so they cannot demand inspection or asylum under those provisions while remaining in Mexico. The Ninth Circuit judgment was reversed and the case 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 reversed the Ninth Circuit and held that Hawaii’s rule barring licensed concealed-carry handgun holders from carrying on private property open to the public unless the owner expressly permits it violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. The Court remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with that holding.
Cisco Systems, Inc., et al. v. Doe I, et al.
Docket 24-856 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court held that courts may not create new private causes of action under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) to reach aiding-and-abetting liability, and that neither the ATS nor the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA) imposes aiding-and-abetting liability. The Ninth Circuit judgment allowing such claims against Cisco was reversed and the case remanded.
Todd Blanche, Acting Attorney General v. Muk Choi Lau
Docket 25-429 · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
The Court held the Immigration and Nationality Act does not require border officers to have clear-and-convincing evidence that a lawful permanent resident committed a crime involving moral turpitude before treating that person as an "applicant for admission." The case was vacated and remanded to the lower court.
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 ruled that when a county sells a home at a properly conducted tax auction to collect unpaid taxes, the auction price is the baseline for “just compensation” under the Fifth Amendment. The decision vacated and remanded the lower-court judgment, holding the county did not violate the Excessive Fines Clause in the way challenged.
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 validly removes foreign sovereign immunity for lawsuits by U.S. nationals against Cuban agencies and instrumentalities for trafficking in property confiscated from Americans in 1960, and sent the case back for further proceedings. The decision reverses the D.C. Circuit and remands for more proceedings consistent with the opinion.
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 affirmed that state employees cannot be sued in their personal capacities under RLUIPA—a Spending Clause statute—unless they voluntarily and knowingly consented to be treated as a private party and accept federal conditions.

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 that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine prevents federal district courts from hearing cases by state-court losers who challenge injuries caused by state-court judgments, even when the state-court decision is still subject to further review in the state system.

Munson P. Hunter, III v. United States
Docket 24-1063 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

United States v. Ali Danial Hemani
Docket 24-1234 · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Court affirmed the conviction of Ali Danial Hemani under 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(3) for possessing a firearm while an unlawful user of a controlled substance. The majority concluded the federal ban is consistent with the Second Amendment as applied to Hemani’s home possession.
Ahmad Abouammo v. United States
Docket 25-5146 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court unanimously held that a defendant charged under 18 U.S.C. §1519 for knowingly falsifying a document with intent to obstruct a federal investigation must be tried in the district where the falsification took place. The government may not establish venue merely by pointing to places where the statute's intended effects could occur.
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 should decide whether an omitted claim in bankruptcy was deliberate by looking at the totality of the circumstances. The Fifth Circuit had applied an incorrect, narrower test.
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 decided that Section 47(b) of the Investment Company Act does not imply a private right to sue for rescission of contracts that allegedly violate the Act. The Second Circuit judgment was reversed and the case remanded.
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 can levy monetary forfeiture penalties against telecommunications carriers for failing to take reasonable measures to protect certain customer proprietary network information under the Communications Act. The decision reverses the Second Circuit and restores the FCC’s enforcement authority.
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.

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.

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 vacated the Fourth Circuit and remanded, holding federal preemption did not bar a state-law negligence and wrongful-death suit where the federal government did not order or authorize the contractor’s challenged security decisions. The case returns to the lower courts for further proceedings.
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 lower-court judgment and remanded, holding that Chevron plausibly alleged a close relationship between its crude-oil production and performance of a federal aviation-gas refining contract, satisfying the federal-officer removal statute's “relating to” requirement. The decision clarifies when federal-contractor removal is available after the 2011 amendment to the statute.
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 licensed counselor’s talk therapy grounded in religious beliefs, regulates speech based on viewpoint and requires strict First Amendment scrutiny. The case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with that standard.
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, holding that Cox Communications was not contributorily liable for subscribers’ copyright infringement because it neither induced infringement nor offered a service tailored to infringement. The decision narrows when internet service providers can be held responsible for users’ illegal sharing of copyrighted material.
Isabel Rico v. United States
Docket 24-1056 · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The Court held that the Sentencing Reform Act does not allow an automatic extension (tolling) of supervised release when a person fails to report or becomes a fugitive. The Ninth Circuit’s judgment 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.
