Petition for certiorari denied on June 28, 2019
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
18-428 10th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2018

Issue: Whether the subsection-specific definition of ”crime of violence” in 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(B), which applies only in the limited context of a federal criminal prosecution for possessing, using or carrying a firearm in connection with acts comprising such a crime, is unconstitutionally vague.
