Our client was serving a 12 year federal sentence as a career offender because of prior convictions in Florida for burglary. We argued in a Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody that our client can no longer be considered a career offender because his prior convictions for burglary under Florida law are no longer crimes of violence pursuant to the Supreme Court’s recent case Johnson v. United States, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (June 26, 2015). The court agreed. Our client was resentenced to time served and released on a period of supervised release.
