Brian William Schumaker v. United States

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 24-13918 · judgment July 22, 2025


Dismissed · February 23, 2026

Question presented

I. WHETHER the lower courts erred in denying petitioner's motions to expanding the record in the district court and supplementing the record in the court of appeals? II. WHETHER the lower courts erred in denying petitioner's motion under 28 USC §2255(f)(4) as being 'second or successive' in light of the proffered evidence submitted by way of the submitted letters from GEORGIA State Governor Brian Kemp dated "August 15, 2024", asking for 'plenary review' to a 'factual attack' on the district court's jurisdiction; and by ignoring their own circuit precedent in Leal-Garcia v. Quarterman?
