Jonathan David Byrne | Federal Pub Defender S. Dist. U.S. Courthouse, Room 3400 300 Virginia Street East Charleston, WV 25301 | [Petition] [Appendix] | Question(s) presentedI. QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEWA 12-year-old girl alleged that Petitioner sexually abused her. Weeks later, she fully recanted the allegation: “Everything was a lie. I made it all up.” Months after that, Petitioner, who was on supervised release for a prior sex offense, was arrested for violating the conditions of that release. He was later charged with enticement of a minor, although the grand jury was never told about the girl’s recantation. A later indictment dropped the enticement count, but charged Petitioner with obstruction, witness tampering, and conspiring (with his wife) to tamper with a witness, allegedly to ensure that the girl stuck by her recantation. Petitioner went to trial on those charges. The Government’s case was made up largely of portions of recorded conversations between Petitioner and his wife, one of which ended with his wife stating that if the girl did not tell the truth “it’s gonna’ get ugly.” Petitioner’s counsel sought to ask the Government’s witness what came next, to show that “it’s gonna’ get ugly” referred to how diligently defense counsel would treat the matter. After losing an objection to that question, the Government argued that if defense counsel asked the question, it would “open the door” to evidence that defense counsel had previously cross-examined the girl in a prior case, leaving her in tears. The district court agreed and counsel decided not to ask the question. Petitioner was convicted on all counts. At sentencing, the driving issue was whether Petitioner had, in fact, sexually abused the girl. The girl never testified in court or otherwise under oath. Instead, the district court reviewed videos of two forensic interviews with the girl — one from _l- |

Whether a federal district court errs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) when it dismisses a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 due process claim by mischaracterizing a final, executed agency | revocation order in the record as merely a non-actionable "attempt" to revoke, and where the | circuits are divided on whether unopposed motions to dismiss may be granted as conceded. 3.

Judgment: July 10, 2026 |
Jonathan David Byrne | Federal Pub Defender S. Dist. U.S. Courthouse, Room 3400 300 Virginia Street East Charleston, WV 25301 | [Petition] [Appendix] | Question(s) presentedI. QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEWPetitioner was convicted at trial of being a felon in possession of a firearm and witness tampering. In the lead up to sentencing, he made several pro se arguments about the calculation of his advisory Guideline range and ultimate sentence, none of which his counsel adopted. One of those objections was to the classification of a prior conviction as a “controlled substance offense.” The district court classified the offense as such and calculated the advisory Guidelines range accordingly. On appeal, Petitioner restated his argument that the conviction was not a controlled substance offense, but on a different theory and buttressed by documentation that had not been presented to the district court. The question presented in this Petition is, in such circumstances, whether the Court of Appeals should review the question of whether a Petitioner’s prior conviction is a controlled substance offense de novo or only for plain error. _l- |
