The Sixth Circuit affirmed the conviction of Ricardo Davalos Martinez for drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy. The court found sufficient evidence that Martinez knowingly participated in a prison-led narcotics organization.
The Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order that pretermitted an application for relief from removal. The court found no error in the determination that the petitioner abandoned her application by failing to comply with biometric requirements.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed a district court dismissal of a lawsuit challenging Michigan's constitutional amendment on reproductive freedom. The court held that the plaintiffs failed to establish Article III standing because they did not allege specific enforcement actions by the defendants that caused their alleged injuries.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the denial of a motion to suppress evidence found during a traffic stop. The court held that a large spiderweb crack across a vehicle's windshield provided probable cause to stop the driver under South Dakota law.
The Eleventh Circuit reversed the dismissal of tortious interference claims, holding that federal common law does not govern the interpretation of forum-selection clauses in contracts governed by foreign law. The court ruled that the scope of such clauses must be determined under the substantive law of the contract, which in this case was Slovenian law.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a Second Amendment challenge to Minnesota's firearm permit reciprocity statute. The court held that the reciprocity law does not regulate arms-bearing conduct and therefore fails at the first step of the Bruen framework.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed a district court's decision to revoke supervised release and reimprison a defendant for twelve months. The court rejected the defendant's claims that the sentence was procedurally infirm and substantively unreasonable.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit denied a petition for rehearing en banc in a case involving the detention of a lawful permanent resident and the scope of federal court jurisdiction under immigration statutes.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed the sentences imposed on Jose DeJesus Mejia-Fraijo for illegal reentry as a felon and the revocation of his supervised release. The court granted counsel leave to withdraw under Anders v. California after finding no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed the denial of a motion to dismiss an indictment against a defendant charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. The court held that the defendant failed to meet his burden of proving he was not dangerous under the Second Amendment as-applied challenge.
