United States Seventh Circuit

Defendant filed a second challenge to his conviction under Blakely v. Washington, 124 S. Ct. 2531 (2004), however, because the Blakely rule does not apply to cases on collateral review, the Court dismissed without prejudice and defendant may renew his application if the Supreme Court later announces that Blakely applies retroactively to cases on collateral review.
