Eleventh Circuit -- USA v. Charles Willis

USA v. Charles Willis

No standing for ineffective assistance habeus, as it wasn't in the COA.

Resentencing is not a pretext for relitigating corollary issues by bootstrapping them to the permitted claim.

Deft's receipt of the PSR (nine days) inside of the statutory 10 day period was harmless error.

No error in sentence as court stated that it had the power to vary downwards & didn't.
Compiled by D.E. Frydrychowski, who is, not incidentally, not giving you legal advice.
