Cornelius R. Caple v. United States

I. Whether the drug conduct in the “controlled substance offense” definition in U.S. Sentencing Guideline § 4B1.2(b) requires knowledge of the illicit nature of the controlled substance. 1 II. Whether a conviction for aggravated assault with a firearm in violation of Fla. Stat. § 784.021 is a “crime of violence” as defined under the elements clause in U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a)(1), if that offense requires proof of mere reckless mens rea, rather than an intentional act? 1 A similar question is also presented in Billings v. United States, No. 20-7101 (pet. filed Feb. 4, 2021); Curry v. United States, No. 20-7284 (pet. filed Feb. 24, 2021); Collins v. United States, No. 20-7285 (pet. filed Feb. 25, 2021); Davis v. United States, No. 20-7286 (pet. filed Feb. 25, 2021); Cius v. United States, No. 20-7287 (pet. filed Feb. 25, 2021).
