| Case name | Docket no. | Date decided |
|---|---|---|
| Mckesson v. Doe | 19–1108 | November 2, 2020 |
| Under the facts of this case, the state supreme court should resolve uncertain state tort law before federal courts decide whether applying that law would violate the First Amendment. | ||
| Taylor v. Riojas | 19–1261 | November 2, 2020 |
| The officers were not entitled to qualified immunity; no reasonable correctional officer could have concluded that, under these extreme circumstances, it was constitutionally permissible to house Taylor in such deplorably unsanitary conditions for an extended period of time. | ||
| Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo | 20A87 | November 25, 2020 |
| The stay applicants made a strong showing that the challenged restrictions violate "the minimum requirement of neutrality" to religion under Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. Hialeah. The regulations limiting gatherings during the COVID lockdowns could not be viewed as neutral because they singled out houses of worship for more stringent restrictions. | ||
| Tanzin v. Tanvir | 19–71 | December 10, 2020 |
| The express remedies provision under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 permits litigants to obtain monetary damages against federal officials in their individual capacity whenever it is appropriate for such litigants to do so. | ||
| Carney v. Adams | 19–309 | December 10, 2020 |
| Because Adams did not show that he was "able and ready" to apply for a judicial vacancy in the imminent future, he failed to show a "personal," "concrete" and "imminent" injury necessary for Article III standing. | ||
| United States v. Briggs | 19–108 | December 10, 2020 |
| Capital crimes do not have a statute of limitations under the UCMJ, and rape is a capital crime under the UCMJ. | ||
| Rutledge v. Pharmaceutical Care Management Ass'n | 18–540 | December 10, 2020 |
| State statutes are only preempted by ERISA if they have an "impermissible connection" to ERISA plans or they "refer to" ERISA plans. | ||
| Texas v. New Mexico | Orig./ 65, Orig. | December 14, 2020 |
| New Mexico's motion for credit for the evaporated water was not untimely. New Mexico is entitled to delivery credit for the evaporated water. | ||
| Shinn v. Kayer | 19–1302 | December 14, 2020 |
| Under AEDPA, when a state court has applied clearly established federal law to reasonably determined facts in the process of adjudicating a claim on the merits, a federal habeas court may not disturb the state court's decision unless its error lies "beyond any possibility for fairminded disagreement." In this case, the Court of Appeals erred in ordering issuance of a writ of habeas corpus despite ample room for reasonable disagreement about the prisoner's ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim. | ||
| Trump v. New York | 20–366 | December 18, 2020 |
| Case was premature due to lack of standing and ripeness. | ||
| Chicago v. Fulton | 19–357 | January 14, 2021 |
| The mere retention of estate property after the filing of a bankruptcy petition does not violate 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(3), which operates as a "stay" of "any act" to "exercise control" over the property of the estate. | ||
| Henry Schein, Inc. v. Archer & White Sales, Inc. | 19–963 | January 25, 2021 |
| Dismissed as improvidently granted. | ||
| Federal Republic of Germany v. Philipp | 19–351 | February 3, 2021 |
| The FSIA does not allow Holocaust survivors to sue Germany in U.S. court for the return of items stolen during that genocide, as the sale was an act of expropriation of property rather than an act of genocide. | ||
| Salinas v. Railroad Retirement Board | 19–199 | February 3, 2021 |
| The United States Railroad Retirement Board's decision to refuse to reopen the prior, adverse benefits determination of a former railroad worker was subject to judicial review. | ||
| Republic of Hungary v. Simon | 18–1447 | February 3, 2021 |
| Vacated and remanded for further proceedings consistent with Federal Republic of Germany v. Philipp. | ||
| Brownback v. King | 19–546 | February 25, 2021 |
| A dismissal for failure to state a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act is a judgement on the merits that triggers the FTCA's judgement bar on future actions. | ||
| Pereida v. Wilkinson | 19–438 | March 4, 2021 |
| Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, certain nonpermanent residents seeking to cancel a lawful removal order bear the burden of showing they have not been convicted of a disqualifying offense. | ||
| United States Fish and Wildlife Serv. v. Sierra Club, Inc. | 19–547 | March 4, 2021 |

| A request for nominal damages satisfies the redressability element necessary for Article III standing where a plaintiff’s claim is based on a completed violation of a legal right. | ||
| Torres v. Madrid | 19–292 | March 25, 2021 |
| The application of physical force to the body of a person with intent to restrain is a seizure even if the person does not submit and is not subdued. | ||
| Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial Dist. | 19–368 | March 25, 2021 |
| The connection between the plaintiffs’ claims and Ford’s activities in the forum States is close enough to support specific jurisdiction. | ||
| Mays v. Hines | 20–507 | March 29, 2021 |
| The Sixth Circuit "disregarded the overwhelming evidence of guilt" that supported a Tennessee court's conviction of a man for murder. This approach violated Congress' prohibition in AEDPA of disturbing state-court judgments on federal habeas review absent an error that lies beyond any possibility for fair-minded disagreement. | ||
| Facebook v. Duguid | 19–511 | April 1, 2021 |
| Whether the definition of automatic telephone dialing system in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 encompasses any device that can "store" and "automatically dial" telephone numbers, even if the device does not "us[e] a random or sequential number generator". | ||
| FCC v. Prometheus Radio Project | 19–1231 | April 1, 2021 |
| The FCC’s decision to repeal or modify the three ownership rules was not arbitrary and capricious for purposes of the APA | ||
