September 28, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 10 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: The holding in Johnson does not apply to Chapter Four career offender enhancements, and therefore, Johnson does not provide Shoemake with an avenue for relief. Because Johnson is not available to Shoemake, the motion is time-ba rred. Under § 2255(f)(1), Shoemake had one year from the day the judgment became final to file a § 2255 motion. The one-year period expired on August 5, 2014. Fed. R. App. P. 4(b). Finally, Shoemake has failed to show "that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition" is time-barred. Khaimov v. Crist, 297 F.3d 783, 785 (8th Cir. 2002) (quotation omitted). Thus, the Court will not issue a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). Signed by District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr on 9/28/2015. (JMC)
