Holding: Under the standard set in Brigham City v. Stuart, the Fourth Amendment allows police officers to enter a home without a warrant if they have an “objectively reasonable basis for believing” that someone inside needs emergency assistance; that standard was met here.

Judgment: Affirmed, 9-0, in an opinion by Justice Kagan on January 14, 2026. Justices Sotomayor and Gorsuch filed concurring opinions.
