Courts are not authorized to review the arbitrator's decision on the merits despite allegations that the decision rests on factual errors or misinterprets the parties' agreement. It is only when the arbitrator strays from interpretation and application of the agreement and effectively 'dispenses his own brand of industrial justice' that his decision may be unenforceable. | ||

| Consent decree stipulated between parties and agreed to by parties is permissible under Vermont v. New York, 417 U.S. 270 (1974). States are not adjusting the boundary between them, which was fixed by the 1740 decree; the consent decree simply locates precisely the already existing boundary, and neither State is enhancing its power and threatening supremacy of the Federal Government. | ||
| Becker v. Montgomery | 532 U.S. 757 | 2001 |
| The Federal Rules requiring a notice of appeal to be signed derives from Rule 11(a), and so does the remedy for a signature's omission; the Sixth Circuit should have accepted Becker's corrected notice. | ||

| State supreme courts cannot interpret and establish greater protections under the federal Constitution than the Supreme Court has. | ||
| Florida v. Thomas | 532 U.S. 774 | 2001 |

| Penry v. Johnson | 532 U.S. 782 | 2001 |
| A Texas trial court's supplemental instruction on mitigating evidence of mental retardation for sentencing was not constitutionally adequate. Further, the admission into evidence of statements from a psychiatric report based on an uncounseled interview with the defendant does not violate the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. | ||
| Norfolk Shipbuilding & Drydock Corp. v. Garris | 532 U.S. 811 | 2001 |
