United States v. White, Williams & Jackson — 2d Cir. (Oct 5, 2026)

No. 24-3150 Argued October 5, 2026 Published October 10, 2026

The Second Circuit hears the consolidated appeals of White, Williams, and Jackson. James White pleaded guilty and received a twenty-five-year prison sentence, followed by supervised release—court supervision after prison. His release conditions restrict contact with felons and gang members. White says those restrictions interfere with his particularly close relationship with his nephew, who has a felony conviction. He is not asking to undo his conviction; he wants the trial court to reconsider those restrictions. Because he did not object at sentencing, his challenge faces plain-error review, a higher bar for an issue raised only on appeal. Jeremy Gutman will present White's challenge, and Ryan Allison represents the United States.
