548 U. S., Part 2

Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon, 548 U. S. ___ (2006)

R083; No. 04-10566; 6/28/06. Even assuming without deciding that Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations creates rights that a foreign national detained in this country may enforce against a State in a criminal trial or a postconviction proceeding, a violation of Article 36 does not require suppression of the defendant's statements to police, and the State, in a postconviction proceeding, may treat the defendant's claim as procedurally defaulted if he failed to raise it at trial.

League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry, 548 U. S. ___ (2006)

R084; No. 05-204; 6/28/06. The District Court's judgment upholding the Texas Legislature's 2003 plan drawing new district lines for the 32 Texas seats in the United States House of Representatives is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and vacated in part, and the cases are remanded.

Beard v. Banks, 548 U. S. ___ (2006)

R085; No. 04-1739; 6/28/06. The Third Circuit's judgment that a Pennsylvania Department of Corrections' policy forbidding certain dangerous and recalcitrant inmates to have any newspapers, magazines, or photographs cannot be supported as a matter of law is reversed, and the case is remanded.

Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 548 U. S. ___ (2006)

R086; No. 05-184; 6/29/06. The D. C. Circuit's judgment that petitioner, a Yemeni national captured during the war in Afghanistan and imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is not entitled to habeas relief is reversed, and the case is remanded.

Clark v. Arizona, 548 U. S. ___ (2006)

R087; No. 05-5966; 6/29/06. Due process does not prohibit Arizona's use of an insanity test stated solely in terms of the capacity to tell whether an act charged as a crime was right or wrong; nor does the Arizona Supreme Court's Mott decision-which prohibited the use of psychiatric testimony to negate specific intent and held that the State does not allow evidence of a disorder short of insanity to negate mens rea-violate due process.
