Shoop v. Hill
| Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18-56 | 6th Cir. | Not Argued | Jan 7, 2019 | n/a | Per Curiam | OT 2018 |
Holding: Because Danny Hill"s intellectual disability claim must be evaluated based solely on holdings of the Supreme Court that were clearly established at the time the state-court decisions were rendered, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit"s reliance on Moore v. Texas -- which was handed down much later -- was plainly improper.
Judgment: Vacated and remanded in a per curiam opinion on January 7, 2019.
