Posted by Orin Kerr: 0-3 for the Ninth: The Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit in three cases today: [1]Muehler v. Mena (handcuffing during warrant execution didn't violate Fourth Amendment), [2]Brown v. Payton (error in jury instructions in capital case survives deferential AEDPA review), and [3]Rancho Palos Verdes v. Abrams (no private cause of action for permit denial under the Telecommunications Act of 1996).
