Thomas, and Justice Alito took no part in the consideration or decision

Oral Arguments
No. 14–8358. Avondale Lockhart, Petitioner v. United States. Ar­
gued by Mr. Edward S. Zas for the petitioner and by Ms. Ann O’Con­
nell for the respondent.
No. 14–1096. Jorge Luna Torres, Petitioner v. Loretta E. Lynch,
Attorney General. Argued by Mr. Matthew L. Guadagno for the peti­
tioner and by Ms. Elaine J. Goldenberg for the respondent.
Adjourned until Wednesday, November 4, 2015, at 10 o’clock.

Order in Pending Case
No. 15A473. Ernest Lee Johnson, Applicant v. George A. Lombardi,
et al. The application for stay of execution of sentence of death pre­
sented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is treated
as an application for stay pending appeal in the Eighth Circuit. The
application is granted pending the disposition of petitioner’s appeal.
Petitioner’s complaint alleges that Missouri’s method of execution vio­
lates the Eighth Amendment as applied to a person with his particular
medical condition. A supporting affidavit by a medical expert states
that “[a]s a result of Mr. Johnson’s brain tumor, brain defect, and brain
scar, a substantial risk of serious harm will occur during his execution
as a result of a violent seizure that may be induced by [the] Pentobarbi­
tal injection.” Because petitioner’s complaint was dismissed for failure
to state a claim, the State was not required to submit any evidence
refuting this allegation. In the currently pending appeal, the Court of
Appeals will be required to decide whether petitioner’s complaint was
properly dismissed for failure to state a claim or whether the case
should have been permitted to progress to the summary judgment
stage.

Order in Pending Case
No. 15A478. Ernest Lee Johnson, Applicant v. Cindy Griffith, War­
den. Application for stay of execution of sentence of death presented
to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court denied.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Present: Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Kennedy, Justice Thomas,
Justice Ginsburg, Justice Breyer, Justice Alito, Justice Sotomayor, and
Justice Kagan.
The Chief Justice said:
“The memorial drapery on the bench and chair beside me signifies
mourning for a Justice who has died in active service on the Court.
Today, it marks the loss of our friend and colleague, Antonin Scalia,
who died unexpectedly on February 13, 2016.”
“Justice Scalia was born in Trenton, New Jersey, on March 11, 1936,
to parents of Italian descent. He attended public grade school in
Queens, New York, and then a Jesuit military school in Manhattan,
graduating first in his class. He enrolled at Georgetown University,
graduating summa cum laude and as valedictorian in 1957. He next
attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1960.”
“While at Harvard, he met Maureen McCarthy, and they married in
1960. Their devoted union produced nine beloved children: Ann For­
rest; Eugene; John Francis; Catherine Elisabeth; Mary Clare; Paul
David; Matthew; Christopher James; and Margaret Jane.”
“After graduating from law school, Justice Scalia embarked on a ca­
reer in private practice in Cleveland, Ohio, but his love of knowledge
drew him to academia. In 1967, he received an appointment to the
faculty of the University of Virginia Law School. After four years of
teaching and writing, he entered public service as General Counsel of
the White House Office of Telecommunications Policy, at the dawn of
the cable television age. He later served as Chairman of the Adminis­
trative Conference of the United States, and as Assistant Attorney
General for the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice.
In 1976, during his tenure at the Justice Department, Justice Scalia
argued his first and only Supreme Court case. He prevailed, establish­
ing a perfect record before the Court.”
“Justice Scalia returned to teaching as Professor of Law at the Uni­
versity of Chicago Law School. In 1982, President Reagan appointed
him to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit. On June 24, 1986, President Reagan nominated him to this
Court. Justice Scalia took his seat on September 26 of that year, becom­
ing the 103rd Justice to serve on this Court.”

496

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2016

“Justice Scalia devoted nearly 30 years of his life to this Court in
service to the country he so loved. He authored 292 majority opinions
for the Court. He was also known, on occasion, to dissent. We remem­
ber his incisive intellect, his agile wit, and his captivating prose. But
we cannot forget his irrepressible spirit. He was our man for all sea­
sons, and we shall miss him beyond measure. We extend our condo­
lences to his wife Maureen, his children, and the entire Scalia family.”
“At an appropriate time, the traditional memorial service of the
Court and the bar will be held in this courtroom.”
“And now we turn to the business of the Court.”

No. 15–119. Southern Nazarene University, et al. v. Sylvia Burwell,
Secretary of Health and Human Services, et al.
No. 15–191. Geneva College v. Sylvia Burwell, Secretary of Health
and Human Services, et al.
The parties are directed to file supplemental briefs that address
whether and how contraceptive coverage may be obtained by petition­
ers’ employees through petitioners’ insurance companies, but in a way
that does not require any involvement of petitioners beyond their own
decision to provide health insurance without contraceptive coverage to
their employees.
Petitioners with insured plans are currently required to submit a
form either to their insurer or to the Federal Government (naming
petitioners’ insurance company), stating that petitioners object on reli­
gious grounds to providing contraceptive coverage. The parties are
directed to address whether contraceptive coverage could be provided
to petitioners’ employees, through petitioners’ insurance companies,
without any such notice from petitioners.
For example, the parties should consider a situation in which peti­
tioners would contract to provide health insurance for their employees,
and in the course of obtaining such insurance, inform their insurance
company that they do not want their health plan to include contracep­
tive coverage of the type to which they object on religious grounds.
Petitioners would have no legal obligation to provide such contracep­
tive coverage, would not pay for such coverage, and would not be re­
quired to submit any separate notice to their insurer, to the Federal
Government, or to their employees. At the same time, petitioners’ in­
surance company—aware that petitioners are not providing certain

670

TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2016

contraceptive coverage on religious grounds—would separately notify
petitioners’ employees that the insurance company will provide costfree contraceptive coverage, and that such coverage is not paid for by
petitioners and is not provided through petitioners’ health plan.
The parties may address other proposals along similar lines, avoiding
repetition of discussion in prior briefing.
The briefs, limited to a single brief 25 pages in length for petitioners,
and a single brief 20 pages in length for respondents, are to be filed
simultaneously with the Clerk and served upon counsel for the other
parties on or before April 12, 2016. Reply briefs, limited to a single
brief 10 pages in length for petitioners and for respondents, are to be
filed simultaneously with the Clerk and served upon opposing counsel
for the other parties on or before April 20, 2016.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Present: Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Kennedy, Justice Thomas,
Justice Ginsburg, Justice Breyer, Justice Alito, Justice Sotomayor, and
Justice Kagan.
Order in Pending Case
No. 15A999. Marc Veasey, et al., Applicants v. Greg Abbott, Gover­
nor of Texas, et al. Application to vacate the stay entered by the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on October 14, 2014, pre­

The Court recognizes the time constraints the parties confront in light
of the scheduled elections in November, 2016. If, on or before July 20,
2016, the Court of Appeals has neither issued an opinion on the merits
of the case nor issued an order vacating or modifying the current stay
order, an aggrieved party may seek interim relief from this Court by
filing an appropriate application. An aggrieved party may also seek
interim relief if any change in circumstances before that date supports
further arguments respecting the stay order.
