Supreme Court Grants, Vacates, and Remands 27 Cases In Light Of Sessions v. Dimaya | Defender Services Office - Training Division
Supreme Court Grants, Vacates, and Remands 27 Cases In Light Of Sessions v. Dimaya
Yesterday, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari petitions, vacated judgments, and remanded 27 cases to various United States Courts of Appeals for further consideration in light of Sessions v. Dimaya, 138 S. Ct. 1204 (April 17, 2018) (holding that the residual clause of the federal code’s definition of “crime of violence,” 18 U.S.C. §16, as incorporated into the Immigration and Nationality Act’s definition of aggravated felony, was unconstitutionally vague). See May 14, 2018 Orders list; see also prior post discussing Dimaya. A list of the GVR’d cases, circuit of origin, procedural posture (direct appeal or § 2255), and question(s) presented is below.
The Training Division plans to present a 4-part webinar series in June-August 2018 that will address the implications of Dimaya. The Training Division provides litigation resources on predicate convictions, illegal entry and illegal reentry, immigration and offenses involving noncitizens, immigration consequences of conviction, as well as several webinars on strategies for defending noncitizens from basic to advanced issues.

(§ 2255 review) ((1) Whether the residual clause of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(B) is unconstitutionally vague; (2) whether conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery has as an element “the use … of physical force against the person or property of another,” 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A); and (3) whether the U.S. Court of Appeals fo the 11th Circuit’s rule that reasonable jurists could not debate an issue foreclosed by binding circuit precedent, even when a judge on the panel issued the binding precedent and subsequently stated that the panel’s decision may be erroneous, misapplies the standard articulated by the Supreme Court in Miller-El v. Cockrell and Buck v. Davis for determining whether a movant has made the threshold showing for a certificate of appealability.).
Ecourse-Westbrook v. United States, No. 17-6368 (11th Cir.) (§ 2255 review)
Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit erred when it denied a certificate of appealability regarding petitioner’s claim that the definition of a “crime of violence” in 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(B) is unconstitutionally vague in light of Johnson v. United States.).
