Case Explained: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. STEPHEN PILSON

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit Filed: 2026-06-17 The first-circuit issued an errata sheet amending its opinion in *United States v. Pilson* to correct two clerical errors: changing the word “elocution” to “allocution” on page 10, line 7, and changing “free-reign” to “free-rein” on page 23, line 21. The court’s stated basis for this action is to ensure the accuracy of the official record by fixing typographical mistakes in the text of the opinion issued on June 1, 2026. No substantive legal holding or change to the disposition was made; the practical consequence is that the corrected opinion now stands as the authoritative version of the court’s decision.
