Curtis Dwayne Medrano v. United States
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 23-10713 · judgment March 26, 2025
Certiorari denied · January 20, 2026
Question presented
Whether 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(1) comports with the Second Amendment as applied to a defendant whose most serious prior felony convictions are attempted burglary and vehicle theft? Some sentencing judges routinely assert that they would have selected the exact same sentence regardless of any error in applying the Sentencing Guidelines. Should an appellate court take those routine assertions at value?
