Supreme Court of the United States

Anthony Robinson v. Department of Education

April 20, 2020140 S. Ct. 1440

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari, leaving the Fourth Circuit's decision that the Fair Credit Reporting Act's general civil enforcement provisions do not waive the Federal Government's sovereign immunity in place. Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Kavanaugh, dissented, arguing that the split among Circuits on this important statutory‑interpretation question warrants review.
