Summary
In Clay, the defendant received an enhanced sentence based on a felony conviction that was subsequently reclassified. He argued that "because his prior felony was retroactively erased, his sentence violates § 841(b)(1), his right to due process of law, and the Eighth Amendment" (ECF No. 42 at 4).
