Decided
Prisoner filing fee cap
Antoine Bruce v. Charles E. Samuels, Jr.
Antoine Bruce argued that filing-fee deductions for multiple federal cases should be made one at a time, with total monthly payments capped at 20% of his income. The Supreme Court unanimously agreed with the appeals court that payments for each case are collected at the same time, not sequentially.

Decided
Race discrimination in jury selection
Timothy Tyrone Foster v. Bruce Chatman, Warden
Timothy Foster argued that prosecutors struck Black prospective jurors because of race at his Georgia murder trial. The Supreme Court ruled that the state court was clearly wrong to find he had not shown intentional racial discrimination, overturned its decision (reversed it), and sent the case back to the Georgia courts (remanded).

Decided
Wesley W. Harris, et al., Appellants v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, et al.
Voters sued the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, arguing that newly drawn voting districts violated the one person, one vote principle by over-populating Republican-leaning districts and under-populating Democratic-leaning ones. The Supreme Court ruled that minor population deviations are constitutional if they result from legitimate considerations, such as a good faith effort to comply with the Voting Rights Act.
