Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does the ruling in United States v. Davis apply retroactively to defendants raising motions to vacate their § 924(c) convictions?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Questions Presented For Review 1. Does this Court’s ruling in United States v. Davis, 139 8. Ct. 2319 (2019), striking as unconstitutionally vague the residual clause of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(B), apply retroactively to defendants raising motions to vacate their § 924(c) convictions and sentences under 28 U.S.C. § 2255? 2. Can a conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) stand where the predicate offense is federal conspiracy under 18 U.S.C. § 371, which no longer qualifies as a crime of violence? ii
