Mont v. United States
| Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |

| 17-8995 | 6th Cir. | Feb 26, 2019 | Jun 2, 2019 | 5-4 | Thomas | OT 2018 |
Holding: Pretrial detention later credited as time served for a new conviction tolls a supervised-release term under 18 U.S.C. §3624(e), even if the court must make the tolling calculation after learning whether the time will be credited.
Judgment: Affirmed, 5-4, in an opinion by Justice Thomas on June 2, 2019. Justice Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Gorsuch joined.
