Jessie Dejuan Sullivan v. United States

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 24-10799 · judgment May 14, 2025


Certiorari denied · November 17, 2025

Question presented

First, whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) facially violates the Second Amendment? Second, some sentencing judges assert that they would have selected the exact same sentence regardless of any error in applying the Sentencing Guidelines. Should an appellate court accept those assertions at face value?
