Supreme Court of the United States

Marcus Deshaw Hicks v. United States.

June 26, 2017137 S. Ct. 2000

Summary

Justice Gorsuch concurred in an order vacating a defendant's mandatory minimum sentence, arguing that remand to the court of appeals allows resolution of remaining plain error prongs. Justice Roberts dissented, cautioning against vacating the judgment without the government conceding error on all four plain error elements.
