Mandatory Guidelines Not Subject to Vagueness Challenge

United States v. Greer, 2018 WL 721675 (10th Cir. February 6, 2018) (CO): Continuing the trend to streamline the dismissal of pending Johnson appeals, this panel decides that Johnson does not apply to the residual clause in USSG § 4B1.2(a)(2) of the mandatory guidelines. The only right recognized by the Supreme Court in Johnson was an accused’s right not to have his sentence increased under the residual clause of the Armed Career Criminal Act.
