Almost every prisoner should file a Motion to Re-sentence

With the death of the federal sentencing guidelines, almost all of criminal defendants sitting in Federal prisons should all writs (2255) or new appeals to address the Booker and Fanfan decisions. The article below gives a full summary of the effect of Booker and Fanfan.

Needless to say, almost EVERY criminal defendant has important rights under the new decisions. Time is running however, the Congress will do something soon to address this huge criminal law "loophole" or "escape hatch."
