Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |

13-1019 | 7th Cir. | Jan 13, 2015 | Apr 29, 2015 | 9-0 | Kagan | OT 2014 |
Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel to the petitioner in this case.
Holding: A court may review whether the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission satisfied its statutory obligation to attempt conciliation before filing suit. But, because the EEOC has extensive discretion to determine what kind and amount of communication with an employer is appropriate in any given case, the scope of that review is narrow.
Judgment: Vacated and reamanded, 9-0, in an opinion by Justice Kagan on April 29, 2015.

NEW: The Supreme Court DECLINES a request from red states seeking to block a Biden policy that directs the government to assess the societal costs of greenhouse gases. The administration can implement the policy for now. No public dissents from the court's one-sentence order.
The Supreme Court rules 6-3 against two men on Arizona's death row who say they received ineffective assistance of counsel in state court. SCOTUS says that federal courts reviewing their cases can't hold evidentiary hearings to fully assess their ineffective-counsel claims.
In a dispute over arbitration rights, the Supreme Court unanimously sides with a Taco Bell worker who sued the franchise owner for wage violations. The dispute involved whether the company waited too long to try to move the lawsuit out of court and into arbitration.
The Supreme Court adds no new cases to its docket in this morning's order list.
