Reed v. Goertz

Summary

The Court held that a §1983 procedural due‑process claim challenging a state’s post‑conviction DNA‑testing scheme accrues when the state‑court litigation ends, here when the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied Reed’s motion for rehearing, and therefore the claim was timely; it also affirmed Reed’s standing, rejected sovereign‑immunity and Rooker‑Feldman defenses.
