Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 2255', '§ 2255', '§2255', '§ 924', '§ 924', '§ 801']

A movant under § 2255 is entitled to an evidentiary hearing “[u]nless the motion and the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief.” 28 U.S.C. § 2255(b). Because Chase has not raised any factual claims which would require an evidentiary hearing for resolution, no hearing is required. See Perrone v. United States, 889 F.3d 898, 909-10 (7th Cir. 2018).
Under §2255(f)(3) Chase's motion must have been filed within one year of the date on which the right he asserts was first recognized by the Supreme Court and “made retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review.” The Johnson case on which he relies was handed down on June 26, 2015. In Welch v. United States, 136 S.Ct. 1257, 1265 (2016) the Supreme Court recognized that Johnson has retroactive effect in cases on collateral review.

The crime to which Chase pleaded guilty, 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(i), provides: “[A]ny person who, during and in relation to any crime of violence or drug trafficking crime . . . possesses a firearm” must be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than five years. Under § 924(c)(2) a drug trafficking crime includes any felony punishable under the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 801 et. seq. Section 924(c)(3) defines a crime of violence as any felony offense that “(A) has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against another, or (B) that by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense.” The first part of this definition is know as the elements clause, while the second part is referred to as the residual clause.
The Hobbs Act defines robbery as the taking of personal property from another “by means of actual or threatened force, or violence, or fear of injury, immediate or future, to ...
