Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the Ninth Court err in deeming the Fifth Circuit's decision on Texas burglary to be conclusive of whether Mr. Graves could state a claim of actual innocence in the Ninth Circuit?

2. Should the Court hold this petition pending the petition for a writ of certiorari in United States v. Herrold, 19-7731, the decision that purportedly controls the Ninth Circuit's decision in this case?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in applying the Fifth Circuit's substantive law in considering a § 2241 petition claiming actual innocence
