Question(s) presentedQUESTION PRESENTED

The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment permits a state court to exercise specific personal jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant only when the plaintiffs claims “arise out of or relate to the defendant’s contacts’ with the forum.” Ford Motor Co. v. Mont. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 592 U.S. 351, 359 (2021).

The question presented is:

Whether, in a product-liability action, the plaintiff’s claims relate to the defendant’s forum contacts when the defendant manufacturer sells the product in the forum exclusively to corporate customers and prohibits sales of the product to consumers, and the plaintiff consumer acquires the product in the forum through the unauthorized, unilateral activity of a third-party retailer.

v. United States

25-7155 Ninth Circuit, No. 24-3055

Judgment: June 04, 2025

Lonnie Eugene Lillard 5055 South Barton Place Seattle, WA 98118 [Petition] [Appendix] [Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis]
Question(s) presented' QUESTION(S) PRESENTED _ Did the ninth circuit ruled erroneously when it failed to find that District Gourt had the authority and jurisdiction at the resenting hearing to exercise its discretion and hear Mr. Lillard as it relates to cause number 16-077? Even though the night circuit did not vacate the sentences for both supervised release violations, and the underlining, new criminal offense, is such fact detrimental to the District Court judges discretion? | Should both, Mr. Lillard’s sentences for his supervised release violations and his new eriminal offense fall under the “sentence package doctrine”? . Did the night circuit issue a general remand versus a limited remand as to its published opinion at United States of America versus Lonnie Eugene Lillard, 57 F. 4th 729 (9th Cir. 2022) ? Did the ninth circuit rule erroneously when the court failed to find that the district court judge committed a procedural error by refusing to hear Mr. Lillard as to mitigating factors in relation to any potential re-sentencing? Should the ninth circuit determined whether or not appointed council, Thomas E Weaver, was ineffective for refusing to submit any 3553(a) materials and argue for a lower sentence on behalf of Mr. Lillard, once he infused himself into the criminal cause number 16-07?

v. United States

25-7158 Ninth Circuit, No. 23-2360

Judgment: December 17, 2025

Todd W. Burns Burns and Cohan 501 W. Broadway Suite 1510 San Diego, CA 92101 [Petition] [Appendix]
Question(s) presentedQUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW

Federal Rule of Evidence 704(b) states, “[1]n a criminal case, an expert witness must not state an opinion about whether the defendant did or did not have a mental state or condition that constitutes an element of the crime charged or of a defense. Those matters are for the trier of fact alone. ”

The question presented 1s whether the government may circumvent Federal Rule of Evidence 704(b) by eliciting an expert opinion on the mental state of a “hypothetical” person whose circumstances — including the receipt of a specific, unique text message — are a carbon copy of the defendant’s, thereby having the expert functionally opine on the defendant’s mental state.
