United States First Circuit
US v. Rehlander, 10-1812
Conviction and sentencing of defendants for possessing firearms after having been "committed to a mental institution," 18 U.S.C. section 922(g)(4), are reversed where a Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 34-B section 3863 hospitalization does not qualify as a "commitment" for federal purposes in light of District of Columbia v. Heller.
