United States v. Haynes, Jr., No. 12-12689 (11th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant, a federal prisoner, filed a motion to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. 2255, which the district court granted in part because his sentence for possession of a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon exceeded the 10-year statutory maximum. At issue was whether a federal prisoner who directly appeals a resentencing may raise new arguments unrelated to the errors corrected at the resentencing. Because defendant, during the resentencing proceedings, invited the resentencing court to limit the scope of the resentencing counts affected by the order granting in part the motion to vacate, the court will not now vacate that new sentence for errors beyond the scope of that limited resentencing.
