Supreme Court of the United States

United States v. Juvenile Male

June 7, 2010560 U.S. 558

Summary

The Supreme Court examined whether the respondent’s case was moot, given that he remained on the Montana sex‑offender registry potentially because of a federal juvenile‑supervision order. Finding that a favorable decision could affect that registration, the Court held the case was not moot and granted certiorari to certify a question to the Montana Supreme Court regarding the interplay of the federal order and state registration law.

Holding

  • Whether the case is moot, i.e., whether the respondent has a live case or controversy sufficient to redress the collateral consequence of remaining on the Montana sex‑offender registry tied to the federal juvenile‑supervision order.. The case is not moot; certiorari is granted to certify the question to the Montana Supreme Court.
