The Supreme Court this morning via this order list granted cert on a number of cases, one of which, Banister v. Davis, 18-6943, concerns federal habeas procedures. Here is how the grant appears on the order list:
The motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, and the petition for a writ of certiorari is granted limited to the following question: Whether and under what circumstances a timely Rule 59(e) motion should be recharacterized as a second or successive habeas petition under Gonzalez v. Crosby, 545 U.S. 524 (2005).
