172424P.pdf   09/06/2018  Jeffrey Russo  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2424
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Beam, Circuit Judge] Prisoner case - Habeas. Russo asserts a right under the Due Process Clause to be sentenced without reference to the residual clause of Guidelines Sec. 4B1.2(a)(2) under the mandatory guidelines; whether Johnson restarted the one-year habeas limitations period turns on whether Johnson "newly recognized" this asserted right; however, Russo's asserted right is not dictated by Johnson, and the better view is that Beckles leaves open the question whether the mandatory guidelines are susceptible to vagueness challenges; because the matter is still an open question and the answer is reasonably debatable, Johnson did not recognize the right Russo seeks to assert, and he cannot benefit from the limitations period in Section 2255(f)(3); the district court properly dismissed the motion as untimely.
