Is there any case law that supports a motion to set aside, vacate or correct a federal sentence for an aggravated criminal conviction?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from USA. v. Daniels, 195 F.3d 501 (9th Cir. 1999):
Daniels then filed a S 2255 motion to set aside, vacate or correct his federal sentence, and collaterally attacked his two California robbery convictions, which were also used to enhance his sentence. Although he claimed that he had been unconstitutionally convicted, he did not contend that he was denied the right to counsel as guaranteed by Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 83 S. Ct. 792, 9 L. Ed. 2d 799 (1963), in either case.
