Summary: written with AI from the case record.
What it's about
The Supreme Court refused to hear his case (denied review), so it did not decide those arguments.
Rudra’s case came from an appeal of his federal sentence in the Sixth Circuit.
Question presented
1. Whether a rebuttable presumption standard of review should apply to a defendant’s appeal of his sentence challenging that the sentence is in violation of the 18 U.S.C.§3553(A)? 2. Whether U.S.S.G. §2G2.1 enhancement for use of a computer in a case involving child pornography is improper due to its inherent and nearly universal application in such cases resulting in a double counting for the same conduct?
