Ziglar v. United States

Petition for certiorari denied on October 15, 2019
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
18-9343 11th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2019

Issue: Whether the court of appeals correctly affirmed the denial of Joe Ziglar’s motion to vacate his sentence based on Johnson v. United States, when the district court found that Ziglar had failed to show that he was sentenced under the residual clause of the Armed Career Criminal Act of 1984, which was invalidated in Johnson, as opposed to the ACCA’s still-valid enumerated-offenses clause.
