The following excerpt is from Ianniello v. U.S., 10 F.3d 59 (2nd Cir. 1993):
3 Ianniello cites United States v. Long, 917 F.2d 691, 697 n. 6 (2d Cir.1990) in support of retroactivity. But as Ianniello recognizes, Long was decided on direct rather than collateral review. Long did not determine retroactivity on collateral review.
