Questions presented

  1. Whether the Fifth Circuit misconstrues Texas criminal law by equating an arrest without indictment as a formal charge for a felony regardless that this Court recognizes the differences between (1) a formal charge and (2) restraints imposed by arrest and holding to answer a criminal charge. See United States v. Marion, 404 U.S. 307, 320-321, 92 S. Ct. 455, 463, 30 L. Ed. 2d 468 (1971).

  2. Whether the United States Congress intended for Paycheck Protection Program 1 loan eligibility to be determined based upon the location of the business, as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals apply different standards? 1 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (2020) (“CARES Act”).
