Summary

The Supreme Court has issued its order list for March 9, 2026, detailing decisions on petitions for writs of certiorari. The Court granted certiorari in one case (25-579 DEPT. OF AIR FORCE, ET AL. V. GUAHAN, PRUTEHI) and denied certiorari in numerous others. The list also includes miscellaneous orders regarding filings and in forma pauperis status.

What changed

The Supreme Court's March 9, 2026, order list announces its decisions on petitions for writs of certiorari. Notably, the Court granted certiorari in the case of DEPT. OF AIR FORCE, ET AL. V. GUAHAN, PRUTEHI (25-579), indicating it will hear arguments on this matter. Numerous other petitions for certiorari were denied, including cases involving the United States, various state governments, and private entities. Miscellaneous orders were also issued, such as granting a motion to file a joint appendix under seal and denying motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis in two cases, requiring petitioners to pay docketing fees by March 30, 2026.

For legal professionals and parties involved in these cases, this order list signifies the progression of appellate proceedings. The granting of certiorari in 25-579 means further briefing and oral arguments will occur. The denial of certiorari in other cases means the lower court decisions stand. The specific deadlines for paying docketing fees (March 30, 2026) are critical for petitioners in cases 25-6484 and 25-6486. Additionally, the Court issued a rare order directing the Clerk not to accept further non-criminal filings from petitioner Anthony Dove (25-6474) unless docketing fees are paid and the petition complies with court rules, citing abuse of process.

What to do next

  1. Review Supreme Court order list for cases of interest.
  2. Ensure payment of docketing fees by March 30, 2026, for petitioners in cases 25-6484 and 25-6486.
  3. Comply with Supreme Court Rule 33.1 for petition submissions.

Penalties

The Court directed the Clerk not to accept further filings from petitioner Anthony Dove (25-6474) in non-criminal matters unless docketing fees are paid and the petition complies with Rule 33.1, citing abuse of process.

UNITED STATES ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT No. 25–5442. Decided March 9, 2026 The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. JUSTICE GORSUCH, dissenting from the denial of certio- rari. Almost two decades ago, Jaron Burnett pleaded guilty toa federal crime that carried a maximum sentence of 120 months in prison. Initially, the district court sentenced Mr. Burnett to less than that—105 months in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release.Over six years after his release from prison, the govern- ment charged Mr. Burnett with violating the terms of his supervised release. In response, the district court sen- tenced him to 13 additional months in prison. See 18 U. S. C. §3583(e)(3) (providing that a district court may im- pose a term of imprisonment if a defendant violates theterms of his supervised release). That new term broughtMr. Burnett’s total time in prison to 118 months, just 2 fewer than the maximum Congress authorized for his un-derlying conviction. Mr. Burnett finished serving his time in July 2022 and returned to supervised release.Two years later, the government again charged Mr. Bur-nett with violating the terms of his supervised release andagain sought to send him to prison. This time, Mr. Burnett argued, the court needed to proceed differently. His under-lying conviction subjected him to a maximum lawful termof 120 months in prison, no more. Should the governmentseek prison time beyond that because of his latest alleged supervised release violations, Mr. Burnett submitted, the

2 BURNETT v. UNITED STATES GSixth Amendment required the government to prove itscase to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. The district court disagreed. Proceeding without a juryand applying a preponderance of the evidence standard, thecourt found that Mr. Burnett had committed some of the alleged supervised release violations. And, based on its fac-tual findings, the court sentenced him to 14 more monthsin prison, bringing his total term of incarceration to 132months—12 more than the statutory maximum associatedwith his crime of conviction. The court of appeals affirmed that result. In his petition to us, Mr. Burnett does not ask for much. He does not object to receiving new prison time for super- vised release violations. He does not even object to a court issuing that prison time based on its own factual findingsunder a preponderance of the evidence standard, so long as the punishment issued does not exceed the statutory maxi-mum for his underlying crime of conviction. All Mr. Bur-nett claims is the right to have a jury decide any contested facts under the reasonable doubt standard where, as here, a court seeks to impose a sentence that will cause a defend-ant’s total time in prison to exceed the statutory maximum Congress has authorized for his underlying conviction. I would have taken this case to consider that argument.Most federal criminal defendants serve time on supervised release. Some commit violations. Few face a realistic pro- spect of spending more time in prison than the maximumterm authorized for their underlying convictions. See United States v. Henderson, 998 F. 3d 1071, 1086 (CA9 2021) (Rakoff, J., dissenting). But even if the class of cases like Mr. Burnett’s is small, the stakes are high. Many fed-eral criminal defendants today serve long terms on super- vised release (terms that can be further extended after any new violation). See §§3583(b), (h). Others serve on super-vised release for life. See §3583(k). And, under the logic of the decision below, defendants like these can effectively

3 Cite as: 607 U. S. ____ (2026) Gwind up losing for decades (and sometimes forever) the right to receive a federal jury trial to resolve charges against them under the reasonable doubt standard. All the government need do is accuse the defendant of a supervised release violation and convince a judge to find by a prepon-derance of the evidence that more punishment is war-ranted. With no more than that, further prison time may follow—even for periods that exceed the maximum Con-gress has authorized for the defendant’s only crime of con-viction. Bypassing juries, trials, and the reasonable doubt stand-ard in this way may hold some obvious advantages for pros-ecutors. But whether this arrangement can be squared with the Constitution is another thing. Under the Sixth Amendment, this Court has held, “[o]ther than the fact of a prior conviction, any fact that increases the penalty for a crime beyond the prescribed statutory maximum must be submitted to a jury, and proved beyond a reasonable doubt.” Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U. S. 466, 490 (2000) (empha- sis added); see also Erlinger v. United States, 602 U. S. 821, 833 (2024); United States v. Haymond, 588 U. S. 634, 644 (2019) (plurality opinion) (collecting cases). The Court’s failure to grant review to address whether what happened to Mr. Burnett complies with that Sixth Amendment rule is unfortunate. I can only hope we will take up another caselike his soon—and that, in the meantime, lower courts will more carefully consider the Sixth Amendment’s applicationin this context. Respectfully, I dissent.
