Docket No.	Op. Below	Argument	Opinion	Vote	Author	Term
13-10288	9th Cir.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	OT 2014

Issue: (1) Whether the Ninth Circuit erroneously failed to enforce Miller v. Alabama's requirement of individualized sentencing by substituting its own reading of California's juvenile sentencing statute for that of California state courts, which at the time of DeMola's sentencing had interpreted the statute as establishing a presumption of life-without-parole for juveniles convicted of special circumstances murder; and (2) whether Miller v. Alabama is retroactive on federal habeas review.
