 Three weeks later, the Supreme Court ruled in "Johnson v. United States" that the residual clause, under which Welch was sentenced, was unconstitutional.Welch then submitted a motion to the Court of Appeals for more time to ask for reconsideration, but it was not filed as the time to seek reconsideration had passed.Continuing "pro se" (i.e., without a lawyer), Welch filed a petition for certiorari in the Supreme Court.
