    Reed v. Goertz

    This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's April 19, 2023, opinion in Reed v. Goertz. Summary:  A capital defendant convicted in state court of murder sued the state prosecutor in federal court under 42 U.S.C. s. 1983 and argued that the claim was timely because he brought it within two years of a state appellate court ruling denying him relief and rehearing relating to post-conviction DNA evidence testing.  The prosecutor argued that the defendant's Section 1983 claim was not timely because the claim accrued when the trial court - not the appellate court - denied the defendant relief.  SCOTUS held that the statute of limitations for a Section 1983 procedural due process claim begins to run when the state litigation - including appellate proceedings - ends.

    Luna Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools

    This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's March 21, 2023, opinion in Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools. Summary:  A deaf student argued that his school district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by failing to accommodate his disability in public school and preventing him from graduating.  The school district successfully moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) required the student to first exhaust administrative procedures under that statute before suing under the ADA for compensatory damages.  SCOTUS held that the student was not required to exhaust administrative procedures under the IDEA before filing suit for compensatory damages under the ADA.

Hewitt.  Summary:  Plaintiff, an offshore oil rig worker who earned more than $200,000 per year as a daily-rate employee with no overtime compensation, argued that he was a non-exempt employee and thus entitled to overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).  SCOTUS agreed and held that daily-rate workers, regardless of their income level, qualify as non-exempt and are entitled to overtime compensation if the conditions for exempt status in the relevant regulations are not met.
