4 | Petitioner sued, arguing that the offset was barred by the 10-year statute of limitations of the Debt Collection Act of 1982, 31 U. | Lockhart v.

8 | In 1996, the Debt Collection Improvement Act subjected Social Security benefits to offset, β[n]otwithstanding [Β§407],β 31 U. | Lockhart v.

12 | Pp. 3β5. (a) The Debt Collection Improvement Act makes Social Security benefits subject to offset, providing the sort of express reference that Β§407(b) says is necessary to supersede the anti-attachment provision. | Lockhart v. United States, 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | Docket No. 04-881 | syllabus | null | 2,005 | null | Rule/Law/Holding | supreme_cases_2005.json | December 7, 2005 | https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/546/142/ |
16 | Pp. 3β4. (c) Though the Debt Collection Improvement Act retained the Debt Collection Actβs general 10-year bar on offset authority, the Higher Education Technical Amendments retain their effect as a limited exception to the Debt Collection Act time bar in the student loan context. | Lockhart v.

28 | These loans were eventually reassigned to the Department of Education, which certified the debt to the Department of the Treasury through the Treasury Offset Program. | Lockhart v.

32 | We granted certiorari, 544 U. | Lockhart v. United States, 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | Docket No. 04-881 | opinion | null | 2,005 | null | Others | supreme_cases_2005.json | December 7, 2005 | https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/546/142/ |
36 | C. Β§3711(a), an agency head can collect an outstanding debt βby administrative offset.β Β§3716(a). | Lockhart v.

40 | In 1991, however, the Higher Education Technical Amendments, 105 Stat. 123, sweepingly eliminated time limitations as to certain loans: βNotwithstanding any other provision of statute . . . no limitation shall terminate the period within which suit may be filed, a judgment may be enforced, or an offset, garnishment, or other action initiated or taken,β 20 U. | Lockhart v.

48 | We need not decide the effect of express-reference provisions such as Β§407(b) to resolve this case. | Lockhart v. United States, 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | Docket No. 04-881 | opinion | null | 2,005 | null | Analysis | supreme_cases_2005.json | December 7, 2005 | https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/546/142/ |
52 | Therefore, petitioner continues, the Higher Education Technical Amendmentsβ abrogation of time limits in 1991 only applies to then-valid means of debt collection. | Lockhart v. United States, 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | Docket No. 04-881 | opinion | null | 2,005 | null | Analysis | supreme_cases_2005.json | December 7, 2005 | https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/546/142/ |
56 | III Nor does the Debt Collection Improvement Actβs 1996 recodification of the Debt Collection Act help petitioner. | Lockhart v.

60 | Finally, we decline to read any meaning into the failed 2004 effort to amend the Debt Collection Act to explicitly authorize offset of debts over 10 years old. | Lockhart v. United States, 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | Docket No. 04-881 | opinion | null | 2,005 | null | Conclusion | supreme_cases_2005.json | December 7, 2005 | https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/546/142/ |
64 | In any event, it is unclear what meaning we could read into this effort even if we were inclined to do so, as the failed amendmentβwhich was not limited to offsets against Social Security benefitsβwould have had a different effect than the interpretation we advance today. | Lockhart v. United States, 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | 546 U.S. 142 (2005) | Docket No. 04-881 | opinion | null | 2,005 | null | Analysis | supreme_cases_2005.json | December 7, 2005 | https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/546/142/ |

292 | Notably, however, the Nation presented a starkly different interpretation of the statute in the proceedings before the Court of Appeals, arguing that β[t]he balancing test is appropriate even though the legal incidence of the tax is imposed on the Nationβs non-Indian distributor and is triggered by the distributorβs receipt of fuel outside the reservation.β Appellantβs Reply Brief in No. 03β3218 (CA10), p. 3 (emphasis added); see also 241 F. | Wagnon v.

316 | First, under Kansas law, a distributor must pay the tax even for fuel that sits in its inventoryβfuel that is not (or at least has not yet been) used, sold, or delivered by the distributor.[Footnote 3] But the Nationβs interpretation presumes that the tax is owed only on a distributorβs postreceipt use, sale, or delivery of fuel. | Wagnon v.

π¬ Methodology
Labeling Model
The sentences were labeled using a fine-tuned Llama-3-8B model:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Base Model | Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct |
| Method | QLoRA (4-bit quantization) |
| Learning Rate | 2e-4 |
| LoRA Rank | 16 |
| Epochs | 3 |
| Test Accuracy | 85.16% |
Training Data
The model was trained on 2,585 manually annotated sentences from Texas criminal court cases.
