Lackawanna County District Attorney v. Coss 532 U.S. 394 (2001) was a United States Supreme Court case decided in 2001. The case concerned a federal prisoner who sought to challenge his current sentence by arguing it was enhanced based on an unconstitutional prior conviction. A divided Court held that such challenges could not be brought. The decision was based on a reading of the statute in question not a Sixth Amendment constitutional analysis.
