This is a list of all the United States Supreme Court cases from volume 552 (2007-2008) of the United States Reports:

Case name	Citation	Date decided
New York City Board of Education v. Tom F.	552 U.S. 1	2007
The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided Court.
Allen v. Siebert	552 U.S. 3	2007
Because Siebert's petition for state postconviction relief was rejected as untimely by the Alabama courts, it was not "properly filed" under §2244(d)(2). Accordingly, he was not entitled to tolling of AEDPA’s 1-year statute of limitations.
CSX Transp., Inc. v. Ga. State Bd. of Equalization	552 U.S. 9	2007
The 4–R Act allows a railroad to attempt to show that state methods for determining the value of railroad property result in a discriminatory determination of true market value.
Logan v. United States	552 U.S. 23	2007
The "civil rights restored" exemption of convictions for sentence-enhancement purposes did not extend to a defendant who retained his civil rights at all times, and whose post-conviction legal status remained in all respects unaltered by any state dispensation.
Gall v. United States	552 U.S. 38	2007
The federal appeals courts may not presume that a sentence falling outside the range recommended by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines is unreasonable.
Watson v. United States	552 U.S. 74	2007
Smith v. United States (1993) holds that one "uses" a gun by giving it in exchange for drugs. A transaction in the opposite direction does not violate the same statute (one does not "use" a gun by receiving it in exchange for drugs).
Kimbrough v. United States	552 U.S. 85	2007
The Federal Sentencing Guidelines for cocaine are advisory only, and a judge may consider the disparity between the Guidelines' treatment of crack and powder cocaine offenses when "imposing a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary."
Arave v. Hoffman	552 U.S. 117	2008
Wright v. Van Patten	552 U.S. 120	2008
John R. Sand & Gravel Co. v. United States	552 U.S. 130	2008

The private right of action under §10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 does not extend to aiders and abettors. Because the conduct of a secondary actor must therefore satisfy each of the elements for §10(b) liability, the plaintiff must prove reliance upon a material misrepresentation or omission by the defendant.
Knight v. Comm'r	552 U.S. 181	2008
Investment advisory fees generally are subject to the 2% tax-deductibility floor when incurred by a trust.

LaRue v. DeWolff, Boberg & Associates, Inc.	552 U.S. 248	2008

Danforth v. Minnesota	552 U.S. 264	2008
State courts can retroactively apply a new constitutional rule of criminal procedure by applying state law retroactivity standards that are broader than Teague v. Lane.
Riegel v. Medtronic, Inc.	552 U.S. 312	2008
The MDA's pre-emption clause bars common-law claims challenging the safety or effectiveness of a medical device marketed in a form that received premarket approval from the FDA.
Preston v. Ferrer	552 U.S. 346	2008
When all parties to a contract agree to arbitrate their disputes, this also covers disputes which state law requires be referred to an administrative agency.

Sprint/United Management Co. v. Mendelsohn	552 U.S. 379	2008
Whether "me too" evidence of discrimination offered by co-workers in support of a claim against the employer is relevant in an individual ADEA case is fact based and depends on many factors; it is not appropriate for reviewing courts to apply per se rules about their admissibility or inadmissibility.
Federal Express Corp. v. Holowecki	552 U.S. 389	2008
The documents filed did qualify as a charge, as they could be reasonably construed as a request for the agency to take action.

Neither Case Concerning Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mex. v. U.S.), 2004 I.C.J. 12 (Judgment of Mar. 31) nor the President's Memorandum to the Attorney General (Feb. 28, 2005) constitutes an enforceable federal law that pre-empts state limitations on the filing of habeas corpus petitions.
