Questions presented

After the First Step Act enactment date of December 21, 2018. Is it true it now takes two or more "serious drug felonies" or ::two or more prior "serious crime of violence" to enhance a defendant's sentence as a career offender?

Did district court and the court of appeals error by over looking the fact that these prior drug felonies did not count or could not be used for enhancement as I was sentenced after President Trump signed this change into law?
