Gear v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on March 7, 2022
Issues: (1) Whether — given that the Supreme Court held in Rehaif v. United States that in a prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), the government must prove that the defendant knew his legal status — other subdivisions of18 U.S.C. § 922(g) require knowledge of collateral law; and (2) whether appellate courts must give a defendant an opportunity to
make an evidentiary proffer to satisfy his burden of
demonstrating plain error.
