Supreme Court of the United States, 2023

The Court held that the Quiet Title Act's 12-year limitations period is a nonjurisdictional claims-processing rule, reversed the Ninth Circuit's contrary judgment, and remanded. Justice Sotomayor's opinion, joined by Justices Kagan, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Jackson, found no clear congressional statement…

The Court denied certiorari without explaining its decision or resolving the merits. Justice Gorsuch, joined by Justice Kavanaugh, dissented.

The Court held that the Bank Secrecy Act’s maximum $10,000 penalty for nonwillful reporting violations applies per deficient annual report, not per unreported account, and reversed and remanded the Fifth Circuit’s judgment.

Justice Sotomayor, joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Kagan, Kavanaugh, and Jackson, held that the Arizona Supreme Court’s application of Rule 32.1(g) was not an adequate state ground barring federal review.

Justice Kagan, joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Thomas, Sotomayor, Barrett, and Jackson, held that Hewitt's daily-rate compensation did not satisfy the salary-basis requirement for the FLSA's executive exemption, despite his annual earnings exceeding $200,000.

The Court denied certiorari without addressing whether the Excessive Fines Clause applies to the civil penalty imposed for Toth’s failure to report a foreign bank account. Justice Gorsuch dissented, with no other Justice joining.
