Question presented
1. Whether the "intended loss" enhancement in Section 2B1.1 of the Sentencing Guidelines is valid under Kisor v. Wilkie, 139 S. Ct. 2400 (2019), because the plain language of "loss" in the Guideline is not ambiguous and means only "actual loss."? 2. Whether the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment require that any fact that increases a defendant's Sentencing Guidelines range be proven to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.
