Sanctions-related Judicial Opinion - United States v. Amirnazmi, 645 F.3d 564 (3d Cir 2011)

Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.

Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).

Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category). Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] with any questions on search results and efficiency.

Notes:

1) This appeal of a criminal conviction for /ITSR violations centers around the scope of the Berman Amendment exemption for information and informational materials (560.210(c)) as it relates to software. It interprets the regulatory carveout to the informational materials exemption of the , which excludes "materials not fully created and in existence at the date of the transactions."

This is the first case since the 1994 amendment to the original 1998 Berman Amendment to pass on the question of whether and to what extent the "fully created and in existence at the date of the transaction" language was consistent with the version of 1702(b)(3) of IEEPA that was amended in 1998 and remains in force as of 7/2021.
