Dunn v. Madison
| Docket No. | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17-193 | Not Argued | Nov 6, 2017 | n/a | Per Curiam | OT 2017 |
Holding: Because the state court"s determinations of law and fact were not "so lacking in justification" as to give rise to error "beyond any possibility for fairminded disagreement," Vernon Madison"s claim to federal habeas relief must fail.
Judgment: Reversed in a per curiam opinion on November 6, 2017. Justice Ginsburg filed a concurring opinion, in which Justices Breyer and Sotomayor joined. Justice Breyer filed a concurring opinion.
