Opinions March 18, 2021
The following 7th Circuit Court of Appeals opinion was posted after IL deadline Wednesday:
Jeffery Bridges v. United States of America
20-1623
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Tanya Walton Pratt.
Civil. Reverses the denial of Jeffery Bridges’ petition for habeas relief. Finds that in this case, counsel’s failure to raise an important and meritorious sentencing guideline argument may constitute ineffective assistance of counsel. Also finds that Hobbs Act robbery is not a “crime of violence” as the phrase is defined in the sentencing guidelines. Remands with orders including an evidentiary hearing on defense counsel’s performance under 28 U.S.C. § 2255(b).
