Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does a district court have subject-matter jurisdiction to decide 41(g) motions for recovery of property that is unrelated to a criminal judgment on appeal?

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED . 1. The Eleventh Circuit holds that a notice of appeal is a per se divestiture of a district court's jurisdiction over a motion for return of property under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(g). No other circuit in the Court of Appeals adopts that rule of law. Does a district court have subject-matter jurisdiction to decide 41(g) motions for recovery of property that is unrelated to a criminal judgment on appeal? : 2. : Implicitly, the Eleventh Circuit resolved an issue of national importance——must the contents of a media storage device be forfeited separately from the storage device. The Eleventh Circuit resolved that question in a manner that conflicts with both the civil and criminal rules of procedure. Are the untainted contents of a multimedia storage device, . such as an iPhone, forfeited when. the storage device is forfeited or must the contents be forfeited separately and specifically? -i |
