Lamb v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on April 2, 2018.
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.
