How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that inmate cannot pursue Rehaif relief on Section 2241 motion despite second or successive bar in 28 U.S.C. § 2255(h)
  • holding that a prisoner may not evade the restrictions on filing second or successive habeas petitions based on a “more favorable interpretation of statutory law adopted after . . . [movant’s] initial § 2255 motion was resolved.”
  • stating that “[b]ecause § 2255 is the ordinary vehicle for a collateral attack on a federal sentence, the straightforward negative inference from § 2255(h
  • explaining that a second or successive collateral attack on a federal sentence is not authorized unless one of two conditions in § 2255(h) is satisfied
  • explaining that “§ 2255(e) does not displace § 2241 when a prisoner challenges ‘the legality of his detention’ without attacking the validity of his sentence”
  • stating that “the clearest such circumstance is the sentencing court’s dissolution; a motion in a court that no longer exists is obviously ‘inadequate or ineffective’ for any purpose.”
