Because per curiam decisions are issued from the Court as an institution, these opinions all lack the attribution of authorship or joining votes to specific justices. All justices on the Court at the time the decision was handed down are assumed to have participated and concurred unless otherwise noted.
552 U.S. 3 Decided November 5, 2007. Eleventh Circuit reversed and remanded.
The Court held that because Siebert's petition for state postconviction relief was rejected as untimely by the Alabama courts, it was not "properly filed" under §2244(d)(2). Accordingly, he was not entitled to tolling of AEDPA’s 1-year statute of limitations.
552 U.S. 117 Decided January 7, 2008. Ninth Circuit vacated and remanded.
Before the decision, Hoffman filed a motion to vacate the decision below and vacate the decision as moot because he no longer wanted to contest his claim that he had received ineffective assistance during plea bargaining. Because this was "virtually identical" to the relief sought by the state, the state agreed. The court granted the motion.

552 U.S. 120 Decided January 7, 2008. Seventh Circuit reversed and remanded. Stevens filed an opinion concurring in the judgment.
