| James Greiner v.
Democratic National Committee |
paid | 25-60 | Ninth Circuit, No. 24-2948
Judgment: — |
James Greiner | [Petition] [Appendix] | Question(s) presentedQUESTIONS PRESENTED
a) Is there a difference between “economic derived inflation” and “purposefully reckless derived inflation”, with the first being a “generalized grievance”, and the second being “a claim upon which relief can be granted”? b) Is the harm of Inflation particularized since tabulating everyone’s percent of paycheck used to pay new price increases would show that Inflation disproportionately affects the Working Class, while at the same time, due to increased interest rates and being able to raise rents on everyone else, Inflation increases the wealth of Rich People?
If Inflation is due to out-of-control money printing, which is due to an exponential National Debt, which is due to reckless spending, which is due to the Politicians not working together to create Laws preventing reckless spending, which is due to their unwillingness to work together out of fear of losing their jobs if they do, which is due to the DNC and RNC monitoring Congressional votes and cutting support of the Politicians who “cross the isle”, then… Can the harm of Inflation very “likely” be traced to the DNC and RNC? 1 |

Judgment: November 21, 2024 |
Andrew Timothy Tutt | [Main Document] [Lower Court Orders/Opinions] [Petition] [Appendix] |
Question(s) presentedQUESTION PRESENTED21 U.S.C. § 846 makes it a crime to “conspire[] to commit any offense defined in this subchapter.” Prosecutors frequently seek to prove a § 846 violation— as they did in this case—by proving that the defendants conspired to violate 21 U.S.C. § 841, which makes it a federal crime, “[e|xcept as authorized|[,|…for any person knowingly or intentionally … to manufacture, distribute, or dispense … a controlled substance.” 84 Stat. 1260, 21 U.S. C. § 841(a). A core tenet of conspiracy law is that “the failure of the trial court to instruct the jury on the elements of the substantive crimes constituting the objects of the charged conspiracy” is a “serious error.” United States v. Martinez, 496 F.2d 664, 669 (5th Cir. 1974); accord United States v. Alghazoult, 517 F.3d 1179, 1189 (9th Cir. 2008). And in the Fourth and Tenth Circuits that is the rule for § 846 conspiracies. They hold that a § 846 conviction on a § 841 theory requires the jury to be correctly instructed as to the elements required to violate § 841. But the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits do not require that. In the decision below, the Eleventh Circuit, in an unpublished opinion, for at least the fourth time, refused to hold that a person cannot be convicted under 21 U.S.C. § 846 for conspiring to violate § 841 unless the jury is correctly instructed as to the elements of § 841. Judge Jordan concurred. Eleventh Circuit precedent required him to vote to affirm, he explained, but “writing on a clean slate” he “would find the Tenth Circuit’s contrary decision in United States v. Kahn, 58 F.4th 1308, 13811 (10th Cir. 2023), more persuasive.” The question presented is: Whether, in a § 846 prosecution for conspiracy to violate $841, a trial court errs if it fails to correctly instruct the jury on the elements of the § 841 offense.
