Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts 557 U.S. 305 (2009) is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that it was a violation of the Sixth Amendment right of confrontation for a prosecutor to submit a chemical drug test report without the testimony of the person who performed the test. While the court ruled that the then-common practice of submitting these reports without testimony was unconstitutional it also held that so called notice-and-demand statutes are constitutional.
