Dale D. Mitchell, Jr. v. United States
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, No. 25-1294 · judgment December 19, 2025
Pending
Question presented
I. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is constitutional in all its applications or is it subject to as-applied challenges? II. If as-applied challenges are prohibited, is 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) facially invalid because it violates the Due Process Clause and is substantially overbroad? III. Whether Stinson v. United States still accurately states the level of deference due to the Commentary of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines?
