Whether a court may grant a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition collaterally challenging a sentence under Johnson

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether a court may grant a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition collaterally challenging a sentence under Johnson when the sentencing judge never specified — and therefore the record is silent on — whether the petitioner’s original sentence was enhanced pursuant to the Armed Career Criminal Act’s (ACCA) now-invalidated residual clause.1 1 Other petitions presenting a variation of this question include: Curry v. United States, (U.S. 18-229) (filed Aug. 20, 2018); Perez v. United States, (U.S. 18-5217) (filed Jul. 10, 2018); Sailor v. United States, (U.S. 18-5268) (filed Jul. 18, 2018); King v. United States (U.S. 17-8280) (filed Mar. 27, 2018). i PARTIES INVOLVED The parties identified in the caption of this case are the only parties before the Court. ii
