Which case are you referring to? I haven’t heard anything about it.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_v._Hendrix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_v._Hendrix Alito: Are you concerned that every federal prisoner who wants to bring a successive motion is going to claim that this falls within the traditional scope of habeas, and this would be an escape clause that would be invoked again and again and again, and all the district judges are going to have to analyze the traditional scope of habeas to see whether the claim actually falls within that? Feigin responded that he was not concerned with overburdening the federal courts because, in his view, it is rare that a case would fall within the narrow parameters suggested by his position in Jones’ case. Feigin told Alito that Jones’ case constitutes “probably a category of one” in which “somebody is in prison for something that Congress never made a crime.” https://lawandcrime.com/supreme-court/justice-alito-concerned-that-freeing-legally-innocent-man-from-prison-would-clog-up-the-federal-courts/ https://lawandcrime.com/supreme-court/justice-alito-concerne...

      It’s currently under review, the Supreme Court can take a while to make a decision.
