The Anti-Retroactivity Bar:
If a rule is both “new” and “procedural,” it does not apply retroactively unless it is a “watershed rule of criminal procedure.”

Retroactivity Analysis
1. Is it a new rule?
2. Is it procedural?
3. Is it a watershed rule of criminal procedure?
•

Is it a “New” Rule?
First, determine when D’s conviction became final.

Is it a “New” Rule?
Then, look at the law as it then existed and ask:
Was the new rule “dictated” by precedent? If not, it’s new.
Was the unlawfulness of the conviction apparent to all reasonable jurists at the time? If not, it’s new. •
