DENNYS RODRIGUEZ, PETITIONER v.

 UNITED STATES
 

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF 

APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
 

[April 21, 2015] 

JUSTICE KENNEDY, dissenting. 
My join in JUSTICE THOMAS’ dissenting opinion does not
extend  to  Part  III.  Although  the  issue  discussed  in  that 
Part  was  argued  here,  the  Court  of  Appeals  has  not  ad-
dressed that aspect of the case in any detail.  In my view 
the  better  course  would  be  to  allow  that  court  to  do  so  in 
the first instance.
