Questions presented

  1. Whether the Third Circuit Court of Appeals violated fundamental due process principles by granting a stay requested by the government to delay proceedings until after an unfavorable change in law and subsequently applying the new legal standard to deny Petitioner’s motion for a two-point sentence reduction.

  2. Whether the Third Circuit’s refusal to grant en banc rehearing, despite existing precedents in the circuit that support Petitioner’s position, violated the Petitioner’s right to fair judicial review.

  3. Whether the apparent coordination between the government and the appellate court undermines the integrity of the judicial process and constitutes a violation of the Petitioner’s constitutional right to an impartial tribunal.
