#SCOTUS grants one new case: Oil States Energy Services v. Greene's Energy Group (Limited to Question 1.)
#SCOTUS takes no action on Masterpiece Cakeshop. Again.
#SCOTUS also takes no action on Peruta v. California, the gun rights case.
#SCOTUS says that in the habeas context, a "geriatric release" program does not necessarily violate Graham's bar on JLWOP for non-homicide.
That decision comes in a per curiam decision reversing a habeas grant for Dennis LeBlanc, convicted for raping a woman when he was 16.
Ginsburg concurred in the LeBlanc decision "on the understanding" that Virginia Sup Ct did place limits on denial of parole for such people.
