Question(s) presentedQUESTIONS PRESENTED , 1. Whether, when denying a Litigant leave to amend a complaint a district court must provide a reason for that denial as held by the third, Seven, Ninth, Eleventh and D.C. Circuits or whether a | district court need not provide justifying reasons when denying a pro se Litigant leave to amend the } complaint if that reason is apparent from an analysis of the record (as held by the First, Fourth, and Tenth : . Circuits) Is this a violation of due process? 2. Whether the Lower Court abused its discretion when departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings by dismissing the complaint “with prejudice” denying leave to amend under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) where the deficiencies were curable and no prejudice to the opposing party was shown? Rule 15(a)(2) “Leave shall be freely given”? 3. Whether the Third Circuit “overlooked or departed” from its own accepted and usual Judicial proceedings Rules by affirming the district court | denial. Whether a complaint is subject to dismissal under Rule 12 where the dismissal order fails to allow plaintiffs, (Pro Se) any chance to amend the dismissed claims to conform to pleading standards? |

v. United States

Judgment: November 19, 2025

Mackenzie S Lund Federal Defenders- Middle District of Alabama 817 South Court Street Montgomery, AL 36104 [Petition] [Appendix]
Question(s) presentedQUESTION PRESENTED

I. In the opinion below, a panel of the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the exclusion of defense evidence related to an alternate perpetrator based upon its reading of Holmes v. South Carolina, 547 U.S. 319 (2006), and the fact that the defense was unable to specifically identify every accomplice involved in the conspiracy to commit a murder for hire. Can this conclusion be reconciled with this Court’s precedent in Holmes, 546 U.S. 319?

II. Does the Eleventh Circuit’s interpretation of Holmes unconstitutionally alter the burden of proof between the defense and the government in cases involving evidence of third-party guilt?

Question(s) presentedQUESTION(S) PRESENTED : 1) Whether the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals improperly affirmed, on procedural ground of “another bite at the same apple”, to foreclose review of a : . y district court order denying Coram nobis relief, when petitioner’s claim of a Jurisdictional error, premised on a defective indictment; was not resolved, or not adequately addressed in a 2255 motion to vacate, set aside or correct the | : sentence. | } | 2) Whether a grand jury indictment which alleged non-compliance with SNAP rules and regulations..... “All in violation of wire fraud statute 18 USCS | 1348” is defective, is a Jurisdictional error of a most fundamental character that should warrant the issue of Coram nobis relief, to achieve justice »

Jay Lawrence Lichtman 137 N. Larchmont Blvd., #538 Los Angeles, CA 90004 [Petition] [Appendix]
Question(s) presentedQUESTIONS PRESENTED | 1. Under a categorical approach, does the least culpable conduct needed to prove a co-conspirator’s liability for a principal’s substantive violent crime pursuant to Pinkerton v. United States, 328 U.S. 640 (1946) necessarily satisfy the requisite “crime of violence” predicate of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A) following this Court’s decision in United States v. Taylor, 596 U.S. 845 (2022)?
  1. Must the “use of physical force” required to establish a predicate “crime of violence” under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A) be personal to the defendant convicted of using a firearm during that crime of violence under § 924(c), following this Court’s decision in Borden v. United States, 593 U.S. 420 (2021)?
