United States v. Charles Kissinger

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that where an appellant has already served his sentence, and the sentence has no collateral consequences, an appeal of the terms of the sentence is moot
• stating that an inmate who has been unconditionally released from prison must demonstrate collateral consequences continuing from the constitutional injury, lest her claim be rendered moot
• challenged act was the probation condition limiting petitioner’s ability to travel and not the underlying conviction
• “This collateral consequence is insufficient to breathe life into the mooted controversy because the possible effect of an increased sentence depends on Kissinger’s subsequent commission 7 and conviction of a crime.”
• “once a litigant is unconditionally released from a criminal confinement, the litigant must prove that he or she suffers a continuing injury from the collateral consequences attaching to the challenged act.”
• discussing similarities between probation and supervised release
