Vega v. Craig

2 Citing cases

  1. Frazier v. Joslin

    Civil Action No. 3:05-CV-2539-M (N.D. Tex. Feb. 2, 2006)

    The Court notes that like Booker, Shepard v. United States is not retroactive to cases on collateral review. See Duong v. United States, No. C-05-229, 2005 WL 3312630 (S.D. Tex. Dec. 6, 2005); United States v. Ramirez-Villaneuva, No. 3-05-CV-1285-K, 2005 WL 2124151 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 1, 2005) (Kaplan, J.), citing Vega V. Craig, 2005 WL 1388872 at *2 (N.D.N.Y. Jun. 9, 2005) (holding that Shepard does not apply to cases already final); Olivas-Guitierrez v. United States, 2005 WL 1241871 at *4 (W.D. Tex. May 19, 2005) (same); Langley v. United States, 2005 WL 1114710 at *2 (M.D.N.C. May 5, 2005); Morales v. United States, 2005 WL 807051 at *7 (D. Minn. Apr. 7, 2005) (same). Petitioner must challenge his conviction and sentence in a section 2255 motion.

  2. U.S. v. Ramirez-Villanueva

    Nos. 3-02-CR-0401-K, 3-05-CV-1285-K (N.D. Tex. Jul. 29, 2005)

    Nothing in Shepard suggests that it applies retroactively. See Vega v. Craig, 2005 WL 1388872 at *2 (N.D.N.Y. Jun. 9, 2005) (holding that Shepard does not apply to cases already final); Olivas-Guitierrez v. United States, 2005 WL 1241871 at *4 (W.D. Tex. May 19, 2005) (same); Langley v. United States, 2005 WL 1114710 at *2 (M.D.N.C. May 5, 2005) (same); Morales v. United States, 2005 WL 807051 at *7 (D. Minn. Apr. 7, 2005) (same). Consequently, this case is time-barred and should be dismissed.
