Kapoor v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on June 13, 2022
Issues: (1) Whether a non-physician may be convicted of conspiring with a physician to prescribe controlled
substances outside the course of professional practice under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) without regard to the non-physician’s understanding that the physician believed
their prescribing to be within the usual course of professional practice; and (2) whether a federal court must grant a motion for
judgment of acquittal when, after construing the evidence
in the light most favorable to the government and considering both exculpatory and inculpatory inferences, the
evidence of guilt and innocence is in equipoise.
