Cases, including...


                   Howes v. Fields
Randall Lee Fields, serving a prison sentence for sexual
contact with a minor, sought a writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that admissions he made to police officers who
questioned him should not have been allowed into evidence
because they violated his right against compelled self-
incrimination. He claims that the failure of police inter-
rogators to advise him, when he was in jail on an unrelated
matter, of his rights under Miranda v. Arizona, made those
statements inadmissible. The trial court granted the writ
and the Sixth Circuit affirmed. Michigan asks the Supreme
Court to reverse, asserting that the Sixth Circuit improperly
applied precedent in determining that Fields was in custody
for Miranda purposes.

       Douglas v. Independent Living Center
               of Southern California
   Douglas v California Pharmacists Association
     Douglas v. Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital
The plaintiffs, a group of Medicaid providers and recipients,
sued California after the state enacted across-the-board
cuts in its Medicaid reimbursement formula. The plaintiffs
claimed that the cuts violated federal Medicaid require-
ments; the Ninth Circuit agreed. The state appealed to the
Supreme Court, arguing that private plaintiffs cannot sue to
enforce those federal requirements against the state.
