Corey Myrick v. United States

This Court has recognized that “no appeal waiver serves as an absolute bar to all appellate claims.” Garza v. Idaho, 586 U.S. 232, 238 (2019). But the Court has “ma[de] no statement … on what particular exceptions [to appeal waivers] may be required.” Id. at 238-39 & n.6. In the absence of this Court’s guidance, the circuits have been intractably split over what exceptions to recognize for general appeal waivers. The Eleventh Circuit falls on the side with only narrow exceptions to appeal waivers and refuses to acknowledge an exception for miscarriages of justice. The Question Presented is as follows: Is one of the permissible exceptions to a general appeal waiver a miscarriage-of-justice exception? 1 1 This petition raises a similar question as Hunter v. United States, No. 24- 1063, which is scheduled to be orally argued on March 3, 2026.
