Whether § 2255(e)'s saving clause permits a criminal defendant to pursue a claim of actual innocence in the district where he is detained when binding precedent in the district where the defendant was convicted precluded him from adequately or effectively challenging his conviction
question presented here is as follows: Whether § 2255(e)’s saving clause permits a criminal defendant to pursue a claim of actual innocence in the district where he is detained when binding precedent in the district where the defendant was convicted precluded him from adequately or effectively challenging his conviction.
