In Brown v. Davenport the court held that, when a state court has ruled on the merits of a state prisoner’s claim, a federal court cannot grant habeas relief without applying both the test outlined in Brecht v. Abrahamson, 507 U. S. 619, and the one Congress prescribed in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996; the Sixth Circuit erred in granting habeas relief to Mr. Davenport based solely on its assessment that he could satisfy the Brecht standard.

In Cassirer v. Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Foundation the court held that, in a suit raising non-federal claims against a foreign state or instrumentality under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, a court should determine the substantive law by using the same choice-of-law rule applicable in a similar suit against a private party.
