Nasrallah v. Barr (18-1432)
Title 8 U. S. C. §§1252(a)(2)(C) and (D) do not preclude judicial review of a removable noncitizen’s factual challenges to an order denying relief under the international Convention Against Torture, which protects noncitizens from removal to a country where they would likely face torture.
Thole v. U. S. Bank N. A. (17-1712)

Banister v. Davis (18-6943)
Because a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) motion to alter or amend a habeas court’s judgment is not a second or successive habeas petition under 28 U. S. C. §2244(b), Banister’s appeal was timely.
Financial Oversight and Management Bd. for Puerto Rico v. Aurelius Investment, LLC (18-1334)
The Appointments Clause does not restrict the appointment or selection of members of Puerto Rico’s Financial Oversight and Management Board, who are appointed by the President without the Senate’s advice and consent.
GE Energy Power Conversion France SAS v. Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC (18-1048)
