  • 20-826 BROWN V. DAVENPORT (2021-OCT-05)

    In Brecht v. Abrahamson, 507 U.S. 619 (1993), the Court held that the test for determining whether a constitutional error was harmless on habeas review is whether the defendant suffered "actual prejudice." Congress later enacted 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d) (1), which prohibits habeas relief on a claim that was adjudicated on the merits by a state court unless the adjudication "resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or
    involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law." Although the Court has held that the Brecht test "subsumes" § 2254(d)(1)'s requirements, the Court declared in Davis v. Ayala, 576 U.S. 257, 267 (2015), that those requirements are still a "precondition" for relief and that a state-court harmlessness determination under Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18 (1967), still retains "significance" under the Brecht test.

    The question presented is:

    May a federal habeas court grant relief based solely on its conclusion that the. Brecht test is satisfied, as the Sixth Circuit held, or must the court also find that the state court's Chapman application was unreasonable under § 2254(d)(1), as the Second, Third, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have held?

  • 20-5279 Wooden v. United States (2021-Oct-04)

    The case concerns the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and how predicate offenses are considered and classified under the Armed Career Criminal Act. A predicate offense is a crime that may be or may be considered a component of a larger crime.

    QUESTION PRESENTED:

    1. Did the warrantless entry and search of petitioner's home violate his Fourth Amendment right to be free from illegal search and seizure?
    2. Did the Sixth Circuit err by expanding the scope of 18 U.S.C. §924(e)(1) in the absence of clear statutory definition with regard to the vague term 'committed on occasions different from one another'?"[1]

  • 19-251 Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta (2021-April-26)

    QUESTION PRESENTED:

    Whether the exacting scrutiny the Supreme Court has long required of laws that abridge the freedoms of speech and association outside the election context – as called for by NAACP v. Alabama ex rel. Patterson and its progeny – can be satisfied absent any showing that a blanket governmental demand for the individual identities and addresses of major donors to private nonprofit organizations is narrowly tailored to an asserted law-enforcement interest.
