Supreme Court of the United States

Tony Henderson, Petitioner v. United States.

May 18, 2015135 S. Ct. 1780

Summary

The Court held that 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) does not prohibit a court from ordering a convicted felon to transfer firearms to a third party if the felon cannot retain control over them. The Court vacated the Eleventh Circuit's decision, clarifying that constructive possession depends on post-transfer control, not merely selecting a recipient.
