Harris v. Warden, No. 14-14550 (11th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePetitioner was convicted for possession with intent to distribute 500 grams of cocaine and the district court sentenced him to the mandatory minimum sentence of 120 months' imprisonment because he had two prior felony drug convictions. Petitioner argued that the district court erroneously admitted evidence and that the evidence presented was insufficient to support his conviction. The Seventh Circuit affirmed the district court's judgment. Petitioner then filed a motion to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. 2255, but he was denied relief and denied a certificate of appealability (COA). In this appeal, petitioner challenged the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. 2241 petition. The court affirmed the judgment, concluding that the district court committed no error when it dismissed the petition after determining that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to consider the section 2241 petition.
