This document is a page from a legal filing, likely a court opinion or brief, dated February 28, 2023. The author argues against the retroactive application of a statute (§ 3283) by analyzing legislative intent, referencing Senator Leahy's remarks and Congress's rejection of a specific retroactivity provision in a 2003 bill. The argument is supported by comparing the rejected language to similar provisions in other statutes (Pub.L. 107-56 and Pub.L. 101-647) to conclude that applying the statute retroactively fails the legal test established in the Landgraf case.
