Alexander Jon Ogilvie v. United States
Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(n) is unconstitutionally vague as applied to criminal defendants' rights
No question identified. : APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO FILE A PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI To the Honorable Neil M. Gorsuch, as Circuit Justice for the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit: Applicant Alexander Jon Ogilvie respectfully requests an extension of 60 days in which to file his petition for writ of certiorari, seeking review of the Tenth Circuit’s decision in United States v. Ogilvie, Case No. 24-4089 (10th Cir. Sept. 3, 2025), a copy of which is attached to this application. In support of this application, Applicant states the following: 1. The Tenth Circuit issued denied Mr. Ogilvie’s appeal on September 3, 2025. Accordingly, the petition for certiorari is currently due December 2, 2025. Granting this extension would make it due on January 31, 2026. 2. The jurisdiction of this Court is invoked under 28 U.S.C. 1254(1). 3. This case asks whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(n) is unconstitutionally vague on its face. Based on the ruling in his case, and the entrenched ambiguity, Mr. Ogilvie has determined he will seek review via a petition of certiorari. 4. This application is not sought for purposes of delay. Undersigned counsel is the lead attorney on several pending appeals. Undersigned counsel represented Mr. Ogilvie before the Tenth Circuit, and there are currently no other attorneys in the Federal Public Defender office who are familiar enough with the record in Mr. Ogilvie’s case to be capable of preparing a petition by the current due date. For these reasons, Mr. Ogilvie requests a 60-day extension of time in which to file a petition for a writ of certiorari.
