Anthony Mangram v. United States

NOTICE OF UNTIMELINESS: This petition is submitted as an untimely petition in a criminal case pursuant to the Clerk’s instruction dated February 25, 2026. • Whether the Fifth Circuit violated the Sixth Amendment and Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by permitting withdrawal of appellate counsel where the Anders brief failed to address non-frivolous constitutional issues apparent on the record. • Whether a criminal conviction obtained under an indictment that failed to allege drug quantity violates the Fifth Amendment Grand Jury Clause and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 7(c)(1), where drug quantity was later used to enhance punishment. • Whether ineffective assistance of both trial and appellate counsel—compounded by the court’s acceptance of a deficient Anders brief—constitutes structural error requiring reversal. • Whether denial of meaningful appellate review violates Due Process under the Fifth Amendment and the historic guarantees of Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights.
