Hamer v. Neighborhood Housing Servs. of Chicago (16-658)

November 06, 2017
       
Dunn v. Madison (17-193) (Per Curiam)
The Eleventh Circuit erred in granting habeas relief where the state court’s determination—that respondent was competent to be executed because he recognized that he would be put to death as punishment for the murder he was found to have committed—was not an unreasonable application of this Court’s case law nor an unreasonable assessment of the evidence before it.

       
Kernan v. Cuero (16-1468) (Per Curiam)
Federal law as interpreted by this Court did not clearly establish that the state court in this case was required to impose the lower sentence that respondent would have received under a criminal plea agreement had the State not been permitted to amend the complaint.

A Look Back: Season’s Greetings from the Warrens


Earl Warren was Governor of California, a position he held from 1942 until 1953, when he was nominated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to be Chief Justice of the United States. This whimsical Warren Family Christmas card is from the late 1940s and was designed by the Chief Justice’s son, James. The first sleigh shows Governor Warren, Mrs. Earl (Nina) Warren, Virginia, Earl Jr., Dorothy, Nina, and Bob. The smaller sleigh holds Jim, Margaret, and the grandchildren Jimmy and Jeff. Pulling the sleighs are Porky, Nozama, Little Nosey, Brownie, Bo, Spade, and Sparkle: the family’s beloved horses and pets.
