How later courts describe this case

  • holding that “it is the criminal episodes underlying the convictions, not the dates of conviction, that must be distinct” to trigger enhancement provision
  • “[A] federal prisoner cannot raise collaterally any issue litigated and adjudicated on direct appeal from his conviction, absent an intervening change in the law.”
