Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the Ninth Circuit improperly dismissed an amended section 2255 motion to vacate sentence as a successive petition
Question Presented (from Petition)
The sole question raised by this Petition for Certiorari is whether the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals fundamentally erred by dismissing the appeal of petitioner’s amended section 2255 motion to vacate sentence as an impermissible second or successive petition, in direct contravention of this Court’s opinion in Panetti v. Quarterman , 551 U.S. 930 (2007), and the Ninth Circuit’s own published opinion in United States v. Jackson , 21 F.4th 1205 (9th Cir. 2022) , among other authorities.
