Marshall v. Rodgers 569 U.S. 58 2013
In light of the tension between the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of the right to counsel at all critical stages of the criminal process and its concurrent promise of a constitutional right to proceed without counsel when a criminal defendant voluntarily and intelligently elects to do so, it cannot be said that California’s approach is contrary to or an unreasonable application of the general standards established by the Supreme Court's assistance-of-counsel cases. Because the habeas petition needed to be supported by clearly established law, the court denied it.
Genesis Healthcare Corp. v. Symczyk 569 U.S. 66 2013

The presumption against extraterritoriality applies to claims under the Alien Tort Statute.
Missouri v. McNeely 569 U.S. 141 2013
The fact that blood-alcohol levels dissipate after drinking ceases, is not a per se exigency pursuant to Schmerber v. California justifying an officer to order a blood test without obtaining a warrant from a neutral judge.
Moncrieffe v. Holder 569 U.S. 184 2013
If a noncitizen’s conviction for a marijuana distribution offense fails to establish that the offense involved either remuneration or more than a small amount of marijuana, it is not an aggravated felony under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

An untimely National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act petition may qualify for an award of attorney’s fees if it is filed in good faith and there is a reasonable basis for its claim.
McQuiggin v. Perkins 569 U.S. 383 2013
Actual innocence, if proved, serves as a gateway through which a petitioner may pass whether the impediment is a procedural bar or the expiration of the AEDPA statute of limitations.
Trevino v. Thaler 569 U.S. 413 2013
Expanded narrow exception to Coleman v. Thompson created by Martinez v. Ryan to state procedural schemes that deny criminal defendants a "meaningful opportunity" to raise an ineffective assistance of counsel claim on direct appeal.
Maryland v. King 569 U.S. 435 2013
When officers make an arrest supported by probable cause to hold for a serious offense and bring the suspect to the station to be detained in custody, taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee's DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.

Nevada v. Jackson 569 U.S. 505 2013
In a trial for rape, the defendant sought to introduce extrinsic evidence to impeach the accuser by showing that they had accused the defendant in the past. The exception to the rape-shield rule required the defendant to give notice of this intention so that they could hold a hearing about it. No decision of the Supreme Court clearly establishes that the notice requirement is unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court has never held that the Confrontation Clause entitles a criminal defendant to introduce extrinsic evidence for impeachment. Because the habeas petition needed to be supported by clearly established law, the court denied it.
Horne v. Dept. of Agric. 569 U.S. 513 2013

Peugh v. United States 569 U.S. 530 2013
The Ex Post Facto Clause is violated when a defendant is sentenced under Guidelines promulgated after he committed his criminal acts and the new version provides a higher sentencing range than the version in place at the time of the offense.
Oxford Health Plans LLC v. Sutter 569 U.S. 564 2013
Under the limited judicial review allowed for decisions from binding arbitation, the sole question is whether the arbitrator arguably interpreted the parties' contract, not whether the arbitrator erred.
Ass'n for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. 569 U.S. 576 2013
Naturally occurring DNA sequences, even when isolated from the body, cannot be patented, but artificially created DNA is patent eligible because it is not naturally occurring.
United States v. Davila 569 U.S. 597 2013
When a federal judge participates in the plea process in violation of Rule 11(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, a guilty plea need not be vacated if the record shows prejudice to the decision to plea due to Rule 11(h).
Tarrant Regional Water Dist. v. Herrmann 569 U.S. 614 2013
The Red River Compact does not preempt Oklahoma’s water statutes because the Compact creates no cross-border rights in its signatories for these statutes to infringe. Nor do Oklahoma’s laws run afoul of the Commerce Clause.
