BRIAWN DECARLOS JACKSON
On May 6, 2004, the Defendant, Briawn DeCarlos Jackson, was convicted of aggravated bank robbery, 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) and (d), and § 2, and using a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) and § 2. This Court sentenced the Defendant to 84 months of imprisonment for the § 924(c) violation. The Defendant now seeks to vacate his conviction and sentence under § 924(c) [Motion to Vacate Sentence Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, ECF No. 112]. His Motion is predicated on the Supreme Court's recent decision in Johnson v. United States, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015). The Defendant maintains that armed bank robbery can no longer be a predicate offense for a § 924(c) conviction.
The Defendant filed his Motion on June 24, 2016-within the one-year period set forth in § 2255(f)(3), based on the Supreme Court's June 26, 2015 decision in Johnson, which is retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review. Welch v. United States, 136 S.Ct. 1257, 1265 (2016) (“Johnson is ... a substantive decision and so has retroactive effect... in cases on collateral review."); Price v. United States, 795 F.3d 731, 734 (7th Cir. 2015) (Johnson announced a new substantive rule which applies retroactively on collateral review). The Court treats the Motion as timely filed.
