Welcome to Supreme Court Opinions. In this episode, you’ll hear the Court’s opinion in Bowe v United States. 

In this case, the court considered these issues:

1. Does a rule requiring dismissal of repeat claims in state prisoner habeas petitions also apply to repeat claims in federal prisoner motions to vacate their sentences?

2. Does the Court have jurisdiction to review lower court decisions allowing or denying federal prisoners permission to file repeat challenges to their sentences?

The case was decided on January 9, 2026.
