Retiring Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall is undergoing tests at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., after feeling light-headed, a Supreme Court spokeswoman said.

Spokeswoman Toni House said Thursday that Marshall, 83, was admitted to the hospital at noon on Wednesday. She said he is undergoing "routine diagnostic testing," but that his admittance was not scheduled."It is my understanding that he was feeling light-headed," House said.

"His condition is good and he's in good spirits," said Medical Center spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Bill Clyde, adding that Marshall complained of "dizziness" on entering the hospital.
