1.) Whether the Circuit Court of Appeals erred in holding that defendant's
motion for judgment of acquittal was properly denied by the District Court

showing that Petitioner Lee Hope knew of his prohibited status as an
unlawful user of a controlled substance under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), as that
term is defined under federal law as this Court has ruled in Rehaif v. United

2.) Whether, in light of this Court's decision in Rehaif v. United States, 18
U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) is unconstitutionally vague, as a person's knowledge of
their prohibited status under said section is entirely subjective.
