Tenth Circuit: After Supreme Court Decision, Stolen Valor Act Is Unconstitutional; Original Opinion and Judgment Vacated

The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals revised its opinion in United States v. Strandlof on Monday, July 2, 2012.

The Tenth Circuit vacated the opinion and judgment it originally issued on January 27, 2012. In light of the United States Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Alvarez, 567 U.S.___, (2012)(No. 11-210), the July 16, 2010 order of the district court dismissing the amended information and charges against Petitioner for making false claims about military service is affirmed. See United States v. Strandlof, 746 F. Supp. 2d 1183 (D. Colo. 2010).
