This is a list of all the United States Supreme Court cases from volume 596 of the United States Reports :
| Case name | Docket no. | Date decided |
|---|---|---|
| Badgerow v. Walters | 20–1143 | March 31,2022 |
| The “look-through” approach to determining federal jurisdiction, whereby a federal court assesses whether there is a jurisdictional basis to decide a Federal Arbitration Act Section 4 petition to compel arbitration by means of examining the parties’ underlying dispute, does not apply to requests to confirm or vacate arbitral awards under Sections 9 and 10 of the Federal Arbitration Act. | ||
| Thompson v. Clark | 20–659 | April 4,2022 |
| To demonstrate a favorable termination of a criminal prosecution for purposes of the Fourth Amendment claim under §1983 for malicious prosecution, a plaintiff need not show that the criminal prosecution ended with some affirmative indication of innocence.

| City of Austin v. Reagan National Advertising of Austin, LLC | 20–1029 | April 21,2022 |
| The distinction between on-premises signs and off-premises signs in the city of Austin’s sign code is facially content-neutral under the First Amendment. | ||

| In a suit raising non-federal claims against a foreign state or instrumentality under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, a court should determine the substantive law by using the same choice-of-law rule applicable in a similar suit against a private party. | ||
| Brown v. Davenport | 20–826 | April 21,2022 |
| When a state court has ruled on the merits of a state prisoner’s claim, a federal court cannot grant habeas relief without applying both the test this Court outlined in Brecht v. Abrahamson and the one Congress prescribed in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996; the Sixth Circuit erred in granting habeas relief to Mr. Davenport based solely on its assessment that he could satisfy the Brecht standard. | ||
| United States v. Vaello Madero | 20–303 | April 21,2022 |
| The Constitution does not require Congress to extend Supplemental Security Income benefits to residents of Puerto Rico. | ||
| Boechler v. Commissioner | 20–1472 | April 21,2022 |

| Shurtleff v. City of Boston | 20–1800 | May 2,2022 |
| 1. When the government opens up its property to the public for purely private speech, it does not necessarily constitute government speech. 2. Permitting private religious expression on government property when that property is made a public forum for comparable private expression does not violate the establishment clause. 3. Prohibiting the use of government property for private expression based solely on its religious content while allowing comparable private speech constitutes impermissible viewpoint discrimination and violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments. | ||
| FEC v. Ted Cruz for Senate | 21–12 | May 16,2022 |
| Section 304 of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (52 U.S.C. 30116(j)) is unconstitutional because it burdens core political speech. | ||

| The holding in Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents does not extend to causes of action for either Boule's claims of First Amendment retaliation or Fourth Amendment excessive-force. | ||

| Denezpi v. United States | 20–7622 | June 13,2022 |
| The double jeopardy clause does not bar successive prosecutions of distinct offenses arising from a single act, even if a single sovereign prosecutes them. | ||

| Only a governmental or intergovernmental adjudicative body constitutes a "foreign or international tribunal" under 28 U.S.C. § 1782, and the bodies at issue in these cases do not qualify as such tribunals. | ||

| The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 does not preclude judicial review of the reimbursement rates set by the Department of Health and Human Services for certain outpatient prescription drugs that hospitals provide to Medicare patients; in this case, because HHS did not conduct a survey of hospitals’ acquisition costs in 2018 and 2019, its decision to vary reimbursement rates only for 340B hospitals in those years was unlawful. | ||
| George v. McDonough | 21–234 | June 15,2022 |
| The invalidation of a Department of Veterans Affairs regulation after a veteran's benefits decision becomes final cannot support a claim for collateral relief permitting revision of that decision based on "clear and unmistakable error" under 38 U.S.C. §§ 5109A and 7111. | ||
| Arizona v. City and County of San Francisco | 20–1775 | June 15,2022 |

| United States v. Washington | 21–404 | June 21,2022 |
| Washington's law facially discriminated against the Federal Government and its contractors. Because §3172 does not clearly and unambiguously waive the Federal Government’s immunity from discriminatory state laws, Washington’s law was unconstitutional under the Supremacy Clause. | ||
| United States v. Taylor | 20–1459 | June 21,2022 |
| An attempted Hobbs Act robbery does not qualify as a "crime of violence" under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A) because no element of the offense requires proof that the defendant used, attempted to use, or threatened to use force. | ||
| Marietta Memorial Hospital Employee Health Benefit Plan v. DaVita Inc. | 20–1641 | June 21,2022 |
| The Medicare Secondary Payer statute does not authorize disparate-impact liability, and the Marietta Plan’s coverage terms for outpatient dialysis were lawful because those terms applied uniformly to all covered individuals. | ||
