"We have held that an offense is a 'serious drug offense' under Section 924(e)(2)(A (ii) if it proscribes one of the kinds of conduct listed in that section, i.e., 'manufacturing' distributing, or possessing with intent to manufacture or distribute."

"I think there is some lesson here for the skeptical at times lawyers to just really keep it up and not give up," said Hartnett of her client Nakia Roy, who at times in his decades-long appeals represented himself pro se.

"After reviewing the Amended Complaint and Plaintiff's communications with Defendants, the Court finds that Plaintiff's harassing conduct is reprehensible, clearly sanctionable, and not the proper conduct of anyone, let alone a licensed attorney," Senior U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson wrote.
