Jaquate Simpson v. United States
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 24-4073 · judgment January 21, 2026
Pending
Question presented
Did the Fourth Circuit directly violate Carpenter v. United States. 585 U.S. 296 (2018), and now Chatrie v. United States. No. 25-112 (June 29, 2026) (slip op.), by holding that law enforcement’s access to real-time cell-site simulator and GPS location-tracking surveillance from a cellular phone carrier was not a Fourth Amendment search, but instead merely the equivalent of a basic pen register?
