John Willie Johnson, aka Dewayne Henderson v. United States
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 19-60731 · judgment January 25, 2021
Certiorari denied · November 1, 2021
Question presented
The overall issue is whether the Fifth Circuit erred by denying Mr. Johnson a Certificate of Appealability. The underlying issue is whether Mr. Johnson is entitled to resentencing without applying the Armed Career Criminal Act because post-Johnson and post-Borden, he no longer has three prior qualifying “violent felony” convictions that are required to trigger the Armed Career Criminal Act’s sentencing provisions.
