IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 19-15076 · judgment October 28, 2020
Question presented
One: Does the First Step Act’s addition of a definition for “felony drug offense” to section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 802, also alter the definition of a “serious drug offense,” 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(A)(ii), for purposes of applying a sentence enhancement under the Armed Career Criminal Act? Two: Is the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1), in the absence of a clear statutory definitions of “convictions” and "committed on occasions different from one another”? 1 1 This is a restatement of Question 2 presented by the petition for writ of certiorari William D.
