Daniels v. United States : ウィキペディア英語版 | Daniels v. United States
''Daniels v. United States'', (531 U.S. 374 ) (2001), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the Armed Career Criminal Act of 1984. The Court ruled, in a 5-4 decision, that a defendant sentenced under that Act could not challenge previous convictions on appeal that were used to increase his new sentence. ==Background and lower court proceedings== In 1994, Earthy D. Daniels, Jr., was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Under the Armed Career Criminal Act of 1984, which imposes a mandatory minimum 15-year sentence on anyone convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and who has three previous convictions for a violent felony, Daniels' sentence was enhanced.〔(532 U.S. 374 ) at 376.〕 After an unsuccessful appeal, Daniels filed a motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his federal sentence. Daniels argued that his sentence violated the Constitution because it was based in part on two prior convictions that were themselves unconstitutional. The District Court denied the motion. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision, reasoning that they could only review those prior convictions if a ''Gideon'' violation was alleged.〔(532 U.S. 374 ) at 378.〕 Daniels sought review in the Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case.
