| Question presented | 1. Can a court of appeals disregard the government’s deliberate waiver of whether a jury trial right violation is harmless in the enhanced statutory penalty context and affirm over the government’s request that the defendant be resentenced without statutory enhancement? 2. Should the Court overrule Neder v. United States, 527 U.S. 1 (1999), as inconsistent with Fifth and Sixth Amendment principles underlying this Court’s precedent in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), and its progeny? 3. Does 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) exceed Congress’s authority under the Commerce Clause, facially and as applied to Petitioner Samuel Storey’s intrastate possession? | 1. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is constitutional in all its applications or is it subject to as-applied challenges? 2. If as-applied challenges are prohibited, is 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) facially invalid because it violates the Due Process Clause and is substantially overbroad? 3. Whether Stinson v. United States still accurately states the level of deference due to the Commentary of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines? | Whether a state restriction on carrying loaded, unsecured firearms in public parks is facially constitutional under the Second Amendment? |
| Summary | Samuel Storey asks the Supreme Court to review his federal firearms conviction and enhanced sentence. He argues that the Eleventh Circuit should not have found a jury-trial error harmless after the government waived that argument and sought resentencing, that the Court should reconsider its harmless-error rule in Neder, and that the federal felon-in-possession law exceeds Congress’s Commerce Clause power as applied to purely intrastate possession. | Dale D. Mitchell, Jr. asks the Supreme Court to review his federal case involving the law that bars people with felony convictions from possessing firearms and the use of Sentencing Guidelines commentary. The petition argues that the firearm-possession law may be unconstitutional as applied to some people or invalid on its face, and that the Court should reconsider the deference courts give to Guidelines commentary. | Terrence Temple has asked the Supreme Court to review an Illinois court decision involving the state’s restriction on carrying loaded, unsecured firearms in public parks. The petition argues that the restriction violates the Second Amendment on its face. |
