Shoop v. Twyford, 596 U.S. ___ (2022), was a United States Supreme Court case related to death row inmates' habeas corpus petitions.

In September 1992, Twyford and Eikelberry lured Franks to a remote spot under the premise of a hunting trip, where he was murdered.

Franks was shot multiple times in the head, and his hands were cut off to deter police from identifying the body.

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court held that a transportation order that allows a prisoner to search for exonerating evidence is not guaranteed unless the prisoner shows that the desired evidence would be admissible in court in connection with a particular claim for relief.

In his dissent, which Justices Sotomayor and Kagan joined, Justice Stephen Breyer wrote that he would not consider the merits of this case due to his belief that the court of appeals lacked the "jurisdiction to hear the State's interlocutory appeal."

In his solo, one-page dissent, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that he would have dismissed the case as improvidently granted.
