Petition for certiorari denied on October 1, 2018

Docket No. Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
17-1320 N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2018

Issue: (1) Whether a police officer who remains outside a suspect"s home violates the Fourth Amendment by arresting the suspect by show of authority without a warrant when the suspect is at the front door but has not stepped outside; and (2) whether New York"s persistent-felony-offender statute, which requires judicial fact-finding on the question whether an enhanced sentence will "best serve the public interest," violates the Sixth Amendment"s jury-trial guarantee.
