Lamb v. United States

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on April 2, 2018.

Docket No.17-5152
Op. Below8th Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether the categorical approach, as detailed in Mathis v. United States, requires courts to determine whether an alternatively phrased statute presents alternative means or alternative elements; and whether, pursuant to this analysis, Michigan"s unarmed robbery statute is indivisible and overbroad because it does not require violent force, and therefore does not qualify as a predicate prior conviction under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1); and (2) whether, pursuant to Mathis, Wisconsin"s burglary statute is broader than generic burglary and therefore does not qualify as a predicate prior conviction under the ACCA.
