Firearm Possession Indictment Dismissal Reversed

In US v. Reese, No. 10-2030, a prosecution for possessing firearms while subject to a domestic protection order, the court reversed the dismissal of the indictment where 1) the prosecution of defendant under 18 U.S.C. section 922(g)(8) is consistent with the government’s intended purpose in implementing that statute; and 2) the district court erred in focusing on the underlying protective order issued by the Hawaii Family Court instead of the challenged federal statute.
