Ruslan Kirilyuk v. United States
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 24-3429 · judgment October 30, 2025
Questions presented
-
Whether Stinson v. United States, 508 U.S. 36 (1993), still accurately states the level of deference due to the commentary of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. This is the question on which this Court granted certiorari in Beaird v. United States, No. 25-5343.
-
Whether U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1’s reference to “loss”—undefined in the Guideline text governing petitioner’s sentencing—may be read through Application Note 3(A) to include “intended loss” the defendant never realized. Law Office of Gene Vorobyov Respectfully submitted, Attorney for Petitioner RUSLAN KIRILYUK
