Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 2255', '§ 924', '§ 2113', '§ 924', '§ 2119', '§ 924']

GABRIEL RICE, Petitioner,
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. Criminal No. 1:08-CR-0334-SLB-HGD
This case is presently pending before the court on petitioner Gabriel Rice's Motion Under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody [hereinafter Motion to Vacate]. (Doc. 1; crim. doc. 30; doc. 12.)[1] Citing Mathis v. United States, 136 S.Ct. 2243 (2016), and Johnson v. United States, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015), Rice contends he was improperly sentenced under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). Because binding Eleventh Circuit precedent bars Rice's claims on the merits, the court assumes that his Motion to Vacate is timely filed and is not procedurally barred. For the reasons set forth below, the court finds that Rice's Motion to Vacate is due to be denied.
On August 26, 2008, an Indictment was filed against Rice. (Crim. Doc. 7.) The Indictment charged:
