Tapia v. United States : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tapia v. United States
''Tapia v. United States'', , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that a federal court cannot give a criminal defendant a longer sentence to promote rehabilitation. ==Background== Alejandra Tapia was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison for bringing an illegal immigrant into the United States for financial gain.〔''(United States v. Tapia )'', No. 09-50248, (9th Cir. April 16, 2010).〕 Tapia challenged the basis for the District Court's sentencing decision. Specifically, Tapia challenged basing the length of sentence on speculation about when Tapia would be able to enter and complete the Bureau of Prisons' drug abuse treatment program.〔 In a brief order, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, relying on its previous decisions, affirmed the decision. Tapia petitioned the Supreme Court for certiorari, citing the circuit split on the issue.〔''Tapia v. United States'', (Petition for a Writ of Certiorari ), July 9, 2010.〕 Specifically, the Eighth and Ninth Circuits permit the use of rehabilitation as a factor in sentencing, while four other circuit courts prohibit it.〔Lyle Denniston, "(Court grants 3 new cases )" SCOTUSblog (December 10, 2010).〕 The Court agreed to hear the case on that issue.〔(Questions presented in No. 10-5400, Tapia v. United States ), Supreme Court of the United States.〕
