The Supreme Court of the United States handed down thirteen ''per curiam'' opinions during its 2011 term, which began October 3, 2011 and concluded September 30, 2012.〔The description of two opinions have been omitted; the Court's opinions in ''Vasquez v. United States'', 566 U.S. ___ (2012), and ''First American Financial Corp. v. Edwards'', 567 U.S. ___ (2012), were one-line dismissals of certiorari as improvidently granted.〕 Because ''per curiam'' decisions are issued from the Court as an institution, these opinions all lack the attribution of authorship or joining votes to specific justices. All justices on the Court at the time the decision was handed down are assumed to have participated and concurred unless otherwise noted. ==Court membership== Chief Justice: John Roberts Associate Justices: Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan ==''Cavazos v. Smith''== SCOTUS per curiam |fullcasename=Javier Cavazos, Acting Warden, v. Shirley Ree Smith |citation=565 U.S. ___ |datedecided=October 31, 2011 |summary=The Court reversed, for the third time, a judgment of the Ninth Circuit that had set aside the conviction of a woman for the death of her infant grandson attributed to shaken baby syndrome (SBS). The Court ruled that the Ninth Circuit's judgment, which had questioned the sufficiency of the expert testimony supporting SBS as the victim's cause of death, was contrary to the deferential standard of review established by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 for such petitions. Justice Ginsburg filed a dissent, joined by Justices Breyer and Sotomayor. Smith's sentence was subsequently commuted by California Governor Jerry Brown to time served, releasing her after a decade in prison.〔citation |last=Bazelon |first=Emily |title=Jerry Brown Shows Mercy to Shirley Ree Smith |url=http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/crime/2012/04/jerry_brown_pardons_shirley_ree_smith_in_an_old_sad_shaken_baby_case_.html |date=February 6, 2012 |accessdate=April 7, 2012 |publisher=Slate.com }}〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Supreme Court of the United States handed down thirteen ''per curiam'' opinions during its 2011 term, which began October 3, 2011 and concluded September 30, 2012.The description of two opinions have been omitted; the Court's opinions in ''Vasquez v.
