    REPLY To Opposition To Motion to Correct Sentence

    Filed June 24, 2010

    Since Mr. Gomez Ortiz does not challenge the manner in which the Bureau of Prisons has Case 2:10-cv-02482-CAS Document 7 Filed 06/24/10 Page 11 of 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 12 executed his sentence, the governmentโ€™s characterization of the motion as a habeas petition pursuant to ยง2241 is incorrect.

  8. Hasbajrami v. United States of America

    MEMORANDUM in Opposition to Motion to Compel Discovery

    Filed August 8, 2014

    For that reason, Hasbajrami cannot establish good cause for discovery on the ground that it would be helpful in challenging the lawfulness of the Section 702 collection. Moreover, Hasbajrami also is barred from bringing a constitutional or statutory challenge to the Section 702 collection because Hasbajramiโ€™s plea agreement expressly provided that, โ€œThe defendant agrees not to file an appeal or otherwise challenge, by petition Case 1:13-cv-06852-JG Document 25 Filed 08/08/14 Page 26 of 47 PageID #: 189 19 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ยง 2255 or any other provision, the conviction or sentence in the event that the Court imposes a term of imprisonment of 15 years or below. . . .

  10. USA v. Jiau et al

    MOTION to Vacate under 28 U.S.C. 2255 Document

    Filed September 18, 2012

    On the second day of deliberations, the jury found Jiau guilty of Securities Fraud and conspiracy to commit Securities Fraud. F.
