Supreme Court of the United States

United States v. Omer

January 16, 2007

Summary

Justice Scalia concurred in the denial of certiorari, expressing concern that the Court's recent decision in Resendiz-Ponce effectively revolutionizes indictment requirements by treating certain crimes as self-defining. He noted the Solicitor General's brief relied on that reasoning to argue the indictment was not deficient, but clarified he concurred for different reasons.
