    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.

    Axon Enterprise, Inc. v. FTC

    This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's April 14, 2023, opinion in Axon Enterprise, Inc. v. FTC. Summary:  An accountant regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a company regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed suit in federal district court alleging that the Commissions were unconstitutional as structured.  The Commissions challenged the plaintiffs' ability to file suits in federal district court because federal statutes prescribed an initial agency review process followed by appeal directly to a federal Court of Appeals.  SCOTUS held that the plaintiffs could file suit in the district court based on the type of claims asserted.

    Wilkins v. United States

    This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's March 28, 2023, opinion in Wilkins v. United States. Summary:  Montana property owners sued the United States under the Quiet Title Act, alleging that the Government's 1962 road easement on their property did not permit public access.  The Government successfully moved to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, arguing that the property owners' claim was barred by the Act's 12-year time bar. The intermediate appellate court affirmed.  SCOTUS held that the Act's 12-year provision was a nonjurisdictional claims-processing rule and, thus, reversed and remanded.

    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.

    Delaware v. Pennsylvania

    This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's February 28, 2023, opinion in Delaware v. Pennsylvania.  Summary:  State governments disagreed about the application of escheatment laws and the federal Disposition of Abandoned Money Orders and Traveler's Checks Act (FDA) to financial products sold by banks (Agent Checks and Teller's Checks).  SCOTUS, exercising original jurisdiction, held that the instruments at issue were sufficiently similar to Money Orders and, thus, their disposition was governed by the FDA.

    Bittner v. United States

    This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's February 28, 2023, opinion in Bittner v. United States.   Summary:  The Government fined an individual $2.72 million for failing to file timely reports disclosing 272 foreign accounts as required by the Bank Secrecy Act.  The individual challenged the fine, arguing that it should have been calculated based on the number of untimely reports, not the number of accounts involved.  SCOTUS held that under the Act, the maximum penalty for a nonwillful failure to file a report accrues on a per-report, not a per-account, basis.

Buckley.   Summary:  Homebuyer obtained a judgment against sellers for failing to disclose material defect in the home.  One of the sellers sought to discharge the judgment in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings because she did not know about the defect.  SCOTUS held that the judgment could not be discharged because a bankruptcy debtor can be held liable for a third party's fraud regardless of her own culpability.  MACREADS.COM: MAKING JUSTICE AUDIBLE  http://www.macreads.com  Narrated by Mac McCoy (mac@macreads.com)  MACREADS.COM is a podcast that promotes access to justice by transforming curated United States Supreme Court opinions into immersive, on-demand audio experiences for lawyers and non-lawyers.  In each episode, your narrator reads the primary text of a recent Supreme Court opinion, leaving out any technical components that distract from the main story and analysis.  Find us wherever you access your favorite podcasts.

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.

    Cruz v. Arizona

    This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's February 22, 2023, opinion in Cruz v. Arizona. Summary:  Criminal defendant found guilty of capital murder argued that he should have been allowed to inform the jury that, under Arizona law, a life sentence would be without parole.  SCOTUS reversed and remanded, holding that the Arizona Supreme Court's determination that a state rule of criminal procedure prevented post-conviction relief was not a valid and separate state-law basis for the judgment against the defendant sufficient to foreclose a federal claim.
