JAMARCUS LONG, Movant,
On August 6, 2010, Jamarcus Long entered a guilty plea to one count of possessing a firearm after conviction of a felony, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). (No. 09-10050, Crim. ECF Nos. 53 & 54.) At his sentencing hearing on December 8, 2011, the Court determined, based on his criminal history, that Long qualified for an enhanced sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e). See also U.S.S.G. § 4B1.4. He was sentenced to a 180-month term of imprisonment and a three-year period of supervised release. (No. 09-10050, Crim. ECF Nos. 85 & 86.) No. direct appeal was filed.
In June 2016, Long sought permission from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to file a second or successive motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 challenging his sentence under the decision in Johnson v. United States, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015), in which the Supreme Court held a portion of the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), unconstitutionally vague. The Court of Appeals denied leave as unnecessary because Long had not filed a previous § 2255 motion and transferred the proceeding to this Court. In re Long, No. 16-5782 (6th Cir. Dec. 8, 2016).
Long filed his motion seeking leave to file a successive § 2255 in the Sixth Circuit on June 7, 2016, within one year after the decision in Johnson, so his § 2255 motion is deemed timely under § 2255(f)(3).
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The ACCA requires a fifteen-year sentence for a felon who is convicted of unlawfully possessing a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. &sect; 922(g) and has three prior convictions &ldquo;for a violent felony or a serious drug offense, or both.&rdquo; 18 U.S.C. &sect; 924(e)(1). The ACCA defines &ldquo;violent felony&rdquo; as &ldquo;any crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year&rdquo; that (1) &ldquo;has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another&rdquo; (the &ldquo;elements clause&rdquo;), (2) &ldquo;is burglary, arson, or extortion, involves use of explosives&rdquo; (the &ldquo;enumerated offenses clause&rdquo;), or (3) &ldquo;otherwise involves conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another&rdquo; (the &ldquo;residual clause&rdquo;). Id., &sect; 924(e)(2)(B)(i)-(ii). In Johnson, the Supreme Court held the ACCA's residual clause is unconstitutionally vague and that increasing a ...
