Shinn v. Ramirez (Docket 20–1009) is a pending United States Supreme Court case related to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996.

Background

David Ramirez and Barry Jones were convicted of murders in Arizona and sentenced to death in 1989 and 1994, respectively.

In Martinez v. Ryan, the Supreme Court held that prisoners may use post-conviction counsel's ineffectiveness as a reason to overcome procedural default. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit applied Martinez to rule for Ramirez and Jones on their habeas corpus petitions. The Court denied rehearing en banc over the dissent of Judge Daniel P. Collins and seven other judges. Arizona filed a petition for a writ of certiorari.[1]

Supreme Court

Certiorari was granted in the case on May 17, 2021.
