Timothy Lynn Allen v. United States

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 24-40507 · judgment May 15, 2025

Certiorari denied · October 6, 2025

Question presented

Did the lower courts err in finding that the search of petitioner’s vehicle was justified under Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), and does the Fifth Circuit’s opinion conflict with contrary rulings from the Sixth Circuit and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma?
