Ray Anthony Chaney v. United States
DueProcess HabeasCorpus
Whether Mr. Chaney should be resentenced without applying the armed career criminal provisions of the Armed Career Criminal Act
QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW The overall issue is whether, under law set forth in Johnson, Mr. Chaney should be resentenced without applying the armed career criminal provisions of the Armed Career Criminal Act (hereinafter “ACCA”). This overall issue is divided into the following two sub-issues: 1) Whether the district court erred by finding that it lacked jurisdiction to consider Mr. Chaney’s claims because the ACCA’s residual clause did not come into play at his sentencing hearing; and 2) Whether Mr. Chaney’s prior felony convictions are “violent felonies” post-Johnson. ii
