Jonathan Mota v. United States

Does the Ninth Circuit’s rule that issues raised and rejected on direct appeal are not reviewable in a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition conflict with the general rule announced by this Court that claims not raised on direct appeal may not be raised on collateral review?

Was the Ninth Circuit correct to deny a certificate of appealability to review the district court’s conclusion that a Fifth Amendment constructive amendment claim raised by Mr. Mota on direct appeal was the same as the Sixth Amendment categorical analysis challenge raised by Mr. Mota post-conviction?
