In Singh v. Napolitano, No. 07-16988, the court affirmed the denial of petitioner’s habeas petition, holding that the Attorney General’s decision in Compean II, which affirmed the Ninth Circuit’s language in Lata and Dearinger, did not create “new duties” for petitioner with respect to his habeas petition.

Spencer v. World Vision, Inc., No. 08-35532, concerned an action alleging discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by employees of a religious organization.  The court affirmed summary judgment for defendant although a majority of the court did not agree on the rationale for affirmance.

In Hurd v. Terhune, No. 08-55162, a first-degree murder prosecution, the court reversed the denial of petitioner’s habeas petition, on the ground that the state trial court improperly admitted as evidence petitioner’s refusal to reenact the alleged shooting in violation of his Fifth Amendment rights as determined by the Supreme Court in Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966), and Doyle v. Ohio, 426 U.S. 610 (1976).
