Sakkal v. United States
Petition for a writ of certiorari granted, judgment vacated, and case remanded to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit for further consideration in light of Ruan v. United States.
Issue: Whether the Supreme Court should grant, vacate, and
remand a judgment sustaining the conviction of a
physician under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) because the jury
was given a scienter instruction that is flatly
inconsistent with Xiulu Ruan v. United States.
