Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW (1) Whether Mr. Sanders was improperly denied 28 U.S.C. § 2255 relief from his fifteen-year Armed Career Criminal Sentence, pursuant to United States v. Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015), where a properly conducted Mathis v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2243 (2016), analysis demonstrates that his predicate conviction for Iowa “interference with official acts” was pursuant to an indivisible statute that is categorically overbroad as an 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)(@) “violent felony.”
