United States v. Salas

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on June 28, 2019.

Docket No.18-428
Op. Below10th Cir.

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.
