Supreme Court of the United States

Haynes v. Thaler

November 13, 2012568 U.S. 970

Summary

Justice Scalia, joined by Justices Thomas and Alito, dissented from the Court’s order granting a stay of execution to Anthony Haynes, arguing that Martinez v. Ryan does not apply to Texas post‑conviction review and that Haynes’ ineffective‑assistance claim lacks merit, making a stay unwarranted.
