Hunter Biden lost his appeal Thursday on firearms charges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Hunter’s trial remains scheduled for June 3 in Delaware.
The judge has scheduled a pretrial conference for May 24 at 2 p.m., and Hunter is required to attend.
“The defendant in this criminal case appeals three pretrial orders dated April 12, 2024 denying his motion to dismiss the charges,” the court said. I have written At Curiam’s command. “This appeal is dismissed because defendant has failed to show that the district court’s order is appealable prior to final judgment.”
The three judges included Schwartz (appointed by Obama) and Chung (appointed by Biden).
“An order refusing to dismiss charges is generally not a security order unless the defendant asserts a right to a free trial,” the order states. “A non-prosecution agreement does not imply a right not to have a trial or any other incidental right to appeal.”
Hunter sought an “interlocutory appeal” against the so-called “immediately appealable security order.”
Abby Rowell, Hunter’s attorney, said: Said He was disappointed with the verdict. “As we consider the committee’s decision, we consider the issues involved to be of such importance that further consideration of our request is appropriate.”
Hunter has previously argued that the “diversion agreement” he reached with President Joe Biden’s Justice Department should remain in effect.
agreement able to afford Hunter is entitled to probation rather than jail time after pleading guilty to failing to pay taxes on more than $1.5 million in 2017 and 2018 income. In addition, Special Counsel David Weiss devised another diversion agreement granting Hunter immunity from potential future charges that essentially included the following clause: wipe Felony firearms violation from his record.
Hunter refused to accept a plea deal offered by prosecutors in July after negotiations broke down following Judge Maryellen Noreika’s questions about the “diversion agreement.”
Weiss charged Hunter Biden with one count of false statements in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by an unlawful user or addict of a controlled substance, and one count of false statements related to required information. Must be stored by a licensed federal firearms dealer.
