Supreme Court decisions on February 24, 2026

Trotter v. Florida

Hain Celestial Group, Inc. v. Palmquist

Because the District Court’s erroneous dismissal of Whole Foods Market did not cure the jurisdictional defect that existed when this case was removed to federal court, the Fifth Circuit correctly vacated the judgment in favor of Hain Celestial Group.

Postal Service v. Konan

The United States retains sovereign immunity for claims arising out of the intentional nondelivery of mail because both “miscarriage” and “loss” of mail under the Federal Tort Claims Act’s postal exception, 28 U. S. C. §2680(b), can occur as a result of the Postal Service’s intentional failure to deliver the mail.
