ORDER REINSTATING ORIGINAL SENTENCE

This Court granted relief to Defendant Kevous Ramon McKinney pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2255

based on the decisions in Johnson v. United States,

135 S. Ct. 2551

(2015), and United States v. Stitt,

860 F.3d 854

(6th Cir. 2017) (Stitt I). An amended criminal judgment was entered, reducing McKinney’s sentence to time served, and the United States appealed. Subsequently, in United States v. Stitt,

139 S. Ct. 399

(2018) (Stitt II), the Supreme Court reversed the Sixth Circuit’s decision in Stitt I. On September 26, 2019, the Court of Appeals reversed the grant of relief under § 2255 pursuant to the Supreme Court’s opinion in Stitt II and remanded with instructions to reinstate McKinney’s original sentence. McKinney v. United States, No. 17-5956 (6th Cir. Sept. 26, 2019). The mandate has now issued. In light of the limited nature of the remand, solely for the purpose of reinstating the original sentence, no hearing is necessary. A second amended criminal judgment will be entered in accordance with the order of the Court of Appeals, reinstating McKinney’s sentence of 211 months in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons and a 3-year term of supervised release.

IT IS SO ORDERED. s/ James D. Todd JAMES D. TODD UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
