Garcia-Hernandez v. United States

The Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of defendant's motion to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. 2255, invoking Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015). The court held that defendant had at least three qualifying convictions under current law and resentencing would not change his Armed Career Criminal Act enhancement. Therefore, Johnson error was harmless and he was not entitled to relief under section 2255. View "Garcia-Hernandez v. United States" on Justia Law
