Sean L. Hagins v. United States
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 24-2854 · judgment March 10, 2025
Questions presented
-
Did the Third Circuit Court of Appeals err by failing to address the misapplication of binding circuit precedents in Sean L. Hagins* Motion for compassionate release, particularly the relevance of United States v. Ward, 590 F. 3d 179 (3rd Cir. 2010), as it pertains to his sentence classification as lawful?
-
Does the refusal to recognize the implecations of Ward constitute a manifest injustice, requiring classification on what constitutes "extraordinary and compelling" circumstances for compassionate release?
