Oree Roberson v. United States
Environmental SocialSecurity Securities Immigration
Whether the defendant bears the burden to establish that objected to information in the Presentence Report is materially untrue, or whether the government bears the burden of supporting such information
QUESTIONS PRESENTED I. Whether the defendant bears the burden to establish that objected to information in the Presentence Report is materially untrue, or whether, instead, the government bears the burden of supporting such information, and whether this court should correct the circular position of the Fifth Circuit that holds that a conclusion in the PSR is itself evidence that supports the same conclusion in the PSR? I. This Court should grant certiorari to resolve the apparent conflict between the Fifth Circuit and this Court’s decision in Chavez-Meza v. United States, 138 S.Ct. 1959 (2018), as a well a split in circuit authority regarding the standard of review when a district court fails to address arguments of counsel in mitigation of sentencing. i
