U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Curtis Croft, Applicant v. Tarry Williams, Respondent

November 25, 2014773 F.3d 170

Summary

The Seventh Circuit denied Curtis Croft’s request for authorization to file a successive habeas petition, holding that Miller v. Alabama does not apply because his life sentence is discretionary under Illinois law, and therefore he cannot rely on Miller’s retroactive effect.
