Supreme Court of the United States / October Term 2025

Olivier v. City of Brandon

Decided March 20, 2026. Elena Kagan delivered the opinion of the Court.

Docket 24-993

Holding

Petitioner Gabriel Olivier’s suit seeking purely prospective relief—an injunction stopping officials from enforcing an ordinance in the future—can proceed, notwithstanding his prior conviction for violating that ordinance; Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U. S. 477 (1994), does not hold otherwise.
