Republic of Sudan, Petitioner v. Rick Harrison

Summary

The Court held that 28 U.S.C. § 1608(a)(3) requires that a service packet mailed to a foreign minister under the FSIA be addressed to the minister's office in the foreign state, not their embassy in the United States. The Court reversed and remanded the judgment of the Court of Appeals. Justice Thomas dissented, arguing that embassy service complies with the FSIA absent evidence the embassy declined the packet.
