Dimott v. United States

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided February 2, 2018No. 16-2289PPublishedCited by 56 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

LYNCH, Circuit Judge.

This consolidated appeal arises from the denials of three federal post-conviction relief petitions filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Richard Dimott, Wayne N. Collamore, and Charles H. Casey, Jr., each pled guilty to a federal firearm offense and had a history of Maine state burglary convictions. On collateral review, all three allege that they no longer qualify for a sentence enhancement under the Armed Career Criminal Act (“ACCA”) because the ACCA’s residual clause was invalidated by Johnson v. United States, — U.S. —, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015) (“Johnson II").
