2 . Montgomery's-Expansion-Of -Millerls-Standard ;
(A) . Does the Court's logic of Roper, Graham, Miller, Montgomery &-
Adams, which prohibit under the Eighth Amendment mandatory Life Sent-
tences without Parole for Ouvenile Offenders, announce a new substan
tive Constitutional rule that was retroactive on State Collateral
Review even for, de-facto-Life.5entence , basically whether Montgomery
expanded Miller 's holding, and whether any such expansion can be
applied retroactively ?

(A) . Is it now allowable, after a review of the logic of Roper,
Graham, Miller, Montgomery & Adams, which unavoidably extends not
only to de jure Life Without Parole, but also to de facto ones, for a

of years beyond his life span?
(B) . Is N.Y. State's Sentencing of Juveniles as if they were not
children , sentencing them to die - in - prison that exceeds his life
expectancy, defying decency without considering the fact that he is a
child , and making the sentence all that counts , without consideration
of rehabilitation, a circumvention of Miller?

he was 17 yrs old, has more time in prison than he was alive in free
society, with 60 yrs to go, is. now 50 yrs old with diabetes, also .
short life expectency, who was denied even a hearing?
(B). Whether the cruel & unusual clause in the N.Y.S. Constitution,
as in the U.S. Constitution, is also violated when Petitioner was
sentenced to 92.yfs to Life and he was a juvenile at the time of
crime ... where Bronx Dudge never once mentioned Petitioner's YOUTH
