A federal court rejected first son Hunter Biden’s appeal on three gun charges, setting up a June 3 trial date in Delaware.
The US Third Circuit Court of Appeals cited a lack of jurisdiction and dismissed Hunter’s bid to consider having the case thrown out, according to a Thursday court filing.
“This appeal is DISMISSED because the defendant has not shown the District Court’s orders are appealable before final judgment,” the court’s order states.
Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who is presiding over the case, filed a scheduling order following the appellate court’s ruling for a three to six day jury trial on the three gun felonies to begin in June.
Hunter, 54, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include two counts of making false statements and one count of firearm possession by an unlawful substance abuser.
If convicted, the felonies carry a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
