In Re: Julius Jackson, No. 14-30805 (5th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseMovant seeks authorization to file a successive 28 U.S.C. 2255 motion, seeking to challenge his conviction for assault on federal property resulting in serious bodily injury. The court held that it may authorize the filing of a second or successive section 2255 motion if the movant makes a prima facie showing that his claims rely upon "a new rule of constitutional law, made retroactive to cases on collateral review by the Supreme Court, that was previously unavailable." In this case, the court concluded that plaintiff failed to show that he relies on any new rules of constitutional law that have been made retroactive to cases on collateral review by the Supreme Court. None of the cases on which Movant relies, including Begay v. United States, Johnson v. United States, and Descampsv. United States, authorizes him to file his proposed successive section 2255 motion. Accordingly, the court denied the motion.
