United States v. Amirnazmi
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (2011) | 645 F.3d 564; 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 9741; 2011 WL 1815966
TL;DR: Defendant challenged IEEPA convictions for dealings with Iran, arguing unconstitutional delegation of power, vagueness of regulations, and improper interpretation of an exemption. The Third Circuit affirmed, upholding IEEPA's constitutionality and OFAC's regulatory interpretations.
Legal Significance: Upholds IEEPA against nondelegation and vagueness challenges, affirming broad executive authority in foreign economic emergencies. Reinforces Chevron deference to agency interpretations of statutory exemptions, particularly OFAC's narrowing of the "informational materials" exemption.
