In Berk v. Choy, the justices looked at whether a Delaware law requiring medical malpractice plaintiffs to file an "affidavit of merit" applies in federal court. The Court unanimously said it does not, ruling that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure control instead and override the state requirement.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson filed a concurring opinion.
In Coney Island Auto Parts v. Burton, the case centered on whether a company could challenge a judgment as void years later, or whether it waited too long to do so. The Court unanimously ruled that even claims arguing a judgment is void must be filed within a "reasonable time" under federal rules.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor filed an opinion concurring in the judgment.
