John J. Korzen | Wake Forest U. School of Law Appellate Clinic PO Box 7206 Winston-Salem, NC 27109 | [Petition] [Appendix] | Question(s) presented1 QUESTION PRESENTEDThis Court has recognized an “implied license” that permits a “visitor to approach the home by the front path, knock promptly, wait briefly to be received, and then (absent invitation to linger longer) leave.” Fla. v. Jardines, 569 U.S. 1, 10 (2013). Police rely on this “implied license” to conduct untold thousands of so-called “knock-and-talk” investigations each year under the theory that entering the curtilage of the home to conduct a “knock and talk” does not implicate the Fourth Amendment. But this Court in Jardines also instructed that an officer’s purpose in entering the curtilage of the home has constitutional relevance. If police “enter the protected premises of the home in order to do nothing but conduct a search,” they have conducted a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Jd. at 8 n.4 (emphasis added). This Court reinforced these principles in Collins v. Virginia, holding that “[w]hen a law enforcement officer physically intrudes on the curtilage to gather evidence, a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment has occurred,” and the conduct is thus “presumptively unreasonable absent a warrant.” 584 U.S. 586, 593 (2018) (emphasis added). The question presented is: When police enter the curtilage of the home to conduct a “knock-and-talk” investigation with the purpose of gathering incriminating evidence against the homeowner, do police conduct a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment? |

Ezra Addison Gantt | Federal Defenders of the MDGA, Inc. 440 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd Suite 400 Macon, GA 31202 | [Petition] [Appendix] | Question(s) presentedI QUESTIONS PRESENTEDThis Court recognizes that the right to counsel is “necessary to insure fundamental human rights of life and liberty.” Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 462 (19388). It also recognizes that the Sixth Amendment includes a right to self-representation. Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 819-820 (1975). It has not outlined baseline requirements for standby representation, nor hast 1t established a standard to evaluate attorney effectiveness when standby counsel is forced into a case with inadequate preparation time. Therefore, the questions presented are: (1) If a court utilizes standby counsel, does the Sixth Amendment require that the court give standby counsel adequate time to prepare so they may try the case, if needed? (2) Does a court violate the Sixth Amendment when it replaces standby counsel and forces replacement standby counsel to take over the representation without adequate time to prepare? |
