Klein v. Martin (25-51) (Per Curiam)
Because the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the award of a new trial based on reasoning that departed from the strict standards that govern the grant of federal habeas relief to prisoners convicted in state court prescribed by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, the Court grants the State’s petition for a writ of certiorari and reverses the judgment below.

A Treasured Chest


Following the death of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., on March 6, 1935, the executor of his estate, John G. Palfrey, retained one of two brass-bound cedar chests from his Washington, D.C., home. Palfrey left the monogrammed chest to the Boston law firm where he worked, where it was passed down as a cherished heirloom by the firm’s Harvard Law School alumni until it was donated to the Supreme Court Historical Society in 2023. Holmes was a student and later professor at Harvard Law, which owns the companion chest that was donated by one of the Justice’s nieces in the 1960s.
