Hunter v. United States · ¶91

Notwithstanding his appeal waiver, Hunter appealed his sentence. He argued that the mental-health supervised- release condition violates his substantive due-process rights under Cruzan v. Director, Mo. Dept. of Health, 497 U. S. 261 (1990). The Fifth Circuit dismissed Hunter's appeal because of the appeal waiver. At this time, there is no evidence that Hunter has been prescribed any medication to which he objects or that the District Court has had any reason to consider revocation proceedings. See Reply Brief 18.The Court granted certiorari, 607 U. S. 961 (2025), and now announces a new rule, invalidating any appeal waiver that an appellate court concludes would result in a miscarriage of justice.
