Jerone Tyrell Holman v. United States

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 25-4041 · judgment March 27, 2026

Question presented

I. The Second Amendment guarantees all citizens the right to bear arms. The circuits are divided, however, on whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) runs afoul of that right by blanketly banning every convicted felon from possessing firearms. The question presented here is whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is facially unconstitutional, and if so, when it can be applied constitutionally. II. When applying the Guidelines, Stinson mandates deference to the Commentary. But since this Court issued Kisor v. Wilkie, circuit courts have grappled with the level of deference required when interpreting and applying the Guidelines. The question presented here is whether deference to the Guidelines Commentary is appropriate and, if so, under what circumstances?
