In a April 26, 2007, Order, the Third Circuit vacated its February 28, 2007, precedential opinion in United States v. Shedrick, 478 F.3d 519 (3d Cir. 2007).
In that published opinion (described in detail here), the Court found that it had jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the denial of a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition that raised claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, even though the petitioner had signed a collateral attack waiver. In addition, after finding that ineffective assistance had deprived Sedrick of his right to a direct appeal, the Court reached the merits of that direct appeal and affirmed the sentence.
