Question presented
Was the Fourth Circuit’s rejection of the Petitioner, Willie Baxter’s argument that the prior offenses for serious drug offenses included in a prior indictment should not be considered predicate offenses under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e) for purposes of determining whether the Petitioner was an Armed Career Criminal inconsistent with congressional intent and an erroneous interpretation of the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)?
