Certiorari denied · January 12, 2026

Question presented

John Jackson fully completed his sentence while the government’s second appeal was still pending. He argued at the third and fourth sentencings that the Double Jeopardy Clause and the Due Process Clause precluded him from being sentenced again. The questions presented are:

  1. Does the Double Jeopardy Clause prevent a defendant who has fully completed his sentence from being sentenced again to additional punishment for the same crime?

  2. Does the Due Process Clause prevent a defendant who has fully completed his sentence from being sentenced again to additional punishment for the same crime?
