Sean L. Hagins v. United States
Did the lower court have the obligation to correct an
illegal sentence, brought to its attention, regardless
of the passage of time?
Did the lower court fail in its duty to correct an
illegal sentence, subject to plain error review,

counsel failed to challenge such?
Did the lower court abuse its discretion by not
intervening when Petitioner raised serious issues
regarding defense counsel's representation, including
his failure to challenge a clearly illegal sentence?
Should a defendant, who did everything in his power as
a pro se inmate litigant, be time barred from raising
clearly unconstitutional and illegal violation,
including an illegal sentence, when all of the delays
were caused by the failures of his court appointed
attorney?
