New York v. New Jersey

Reed v. Goertz

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's April 19, 2023, opinion in Reed v. Goertz. Summary:  A capital defendant convicted in state court of murder sued the state prosecutor in federal court under 42 U.S.C. s. 1983 and argued that the claim was timely because he brought it within two years of a state appellate court ruling denying him relief and rehearing relating to post-conviction DNA evidence testing.  The prosecutor argued that the defendant's Section 1983 claim was not timely because the claim accrued when the trial court - not the appellate court - denied the defendant relief.  SCOTUS held that the statute of limitations for a Section 1983 procedural due process claim begins to run when the state litigation - including appellate proceedings - ends.

Wilkins v. United States

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's March 28, 2023, opinion in Wilkins v. United States. Summary:  Montana property owners sued the United States under the Quiet Title Act, alleging that the Government's 1962 road easement on their property did not permit public access.  The Government successfully moved to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, arguing that the property owners' claim was barred by the Act's 12-year time bar. The intermediate appellate court affirmed.  SCOTUS held that the Act's 12-year provision was a nonjurisdictional claims-processing rule and, thus, reversed and remanded.
