Georgia v. Brailsford (1792)

Georgia v. Brailsford, 2 U.S. (2 Dall.) 402 (1792), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that "[a] State may sue in the Supreme Court to enjoin payment of a judgment in behalf of a British creditor taken on a debt, which was confiscated by the State, until it can be ascertained to whom the money belongs"

The case was the first United States Supreme Court case where a state appeared as a party. It includes an opinion from Thomas Johnson, who joined the court on August 6, 1792 and resigned just 163 days later.
