Jennifer Murphey v. United States, et al.

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 24-4085 · judgment April 7, 2025


Certiorari denied · October 6, 2025

Questions presented

  1. Whether I have standing to challenge the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, which are international treaties implemented by Congress into domestic law, and which carry the force of domestic law, are currently enforced by Respondents, and whereby, I am currently subject to said criminal enforcement.

  2. Whether I stated plausible claims for relief that Respondents violate the United States and Arizona Constitutions when they: a. Unlawfully probe into and investigate individual thoughts, feelings and desires for purposes of creating criminal legislation, and premise such legislation on an explicit desire to prevent and combat specific cognitive and emotional states, in violation of the First Amendment protections of Freedom of Thought; and b. Deprive me of multiple protected liberty rights through inadequate, fundamentally unfair and unlawful procedures in violation of procedural due process requirements.

  3. Whether my constitutional and statutory challenges to the CSA’s federal regulations are questions of law for which the federal district court has original jurisdiction to review.
