Jeremy Snider v. United States
HabeasCorpus
Whether non-constitutional claims for sentencing relief grounded on the advisory Sentencing Guidelines can ever be cognizable under 28 U.S.C. § 2255
QUESTION PRESENTED Petitioner Jeremy Snider brought his case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 seeking post-conviction sentencing relief. His claim rested on an erroneous designation as a career offender under the Sentencing Guidelines. By a 2-to-1 vote, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that all nonconstitutional advisory guideline claims are non-cognizable under § 2255. Thus, this petition presents the following question: 1. Whether non-constitutional claims for sentencing relief grounded on the advisory Sentencing Guidelines can ever be cognizable under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. i
