United States v. Robert Pitner, United States of America v. David M. Hanson
Citations: 23 F.3d 1497; 94 Daily Journal DAR 6055; 94 Cal. Daily Op. Serv. 3188; 1994 U.S. App. LEXIS 9572Docket: 90-10299
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; May 4, 1994; Federal Appellate Court
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit addressed the appeals of defendants Robert Pitner and David M. Hanson, following a remand from the United States Supreme Court. The court considered the implications of the Supreme Court's decisions in Pitner v. United States and Hanson v. United States, both reported at 114 S.Ct. 873 (1994). The Ninth Circuit withdrew its previous opinion and unpublished memorandum related to these cases. It ultimately reversed the decisions against Pitner and Hanson, ordering a new trial that aligns with the precedent set in Ratzlaf v. United States, 114 S.Ct. 655 (1994). The ruling was made by Circuit Judges Hall and Wiggins, along with Senior District Judge Burns, who was sitting by designation. The outcome signifies a significant reconsideration of the defendants' cases based on new legal interpretations from the Supreme Court.
