Eady v. United States

Petition for certiorari denied on November 12, 2019
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
18-9424 11th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2019

Issues: (1) Whether the “knowingly” provision of 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(2) applies to both the possession and status elements of a 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) crime; (2) whether, under the “realistic probability” standard of Gonzalez v. Duenas-Alvarez, it is necessary to identify a reported case to establish that a state statute is overbroad vis-a-vis a federal definition if the plain language of the state statute so indicates; and (3) whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit erred under Miller-El v. Cockrell and Buck v. Davis in denying the petitioner, Lamar Eady, a certificate of appealability based upon adverse circuit precedent, when the question of whether Florida felony battery under Fla. Stat. § 784.041(1) is an ACCA “violent felony” is debatable among reasonable jurists.
