February 12, 2010 - Federal Habeas Petition (2255) Granted

February 9-12, 2010, after Government agrees to waive procedural bar objection to Section 2255 federal habeas challenging Armed Career Criminal sentence for Mr. Kent's client Arthur Pride February 9, 2010,  District Court entered order February 12, 2010 granting client's habeas petition, with resentencing to be set by subsequent order.  We are hopeful and expecting a sentence reduction to time served.  This waiver was based on the position taken by the Solicitor General for Mr. Kent's client Demarick Hunter in Demarick Hunter v. United States, which was GVR'd (reversed) by the Supreme Court January 19, 2010 on the basis of the government's waiver in that case.
