Question presented
18 U.S.C. § 1028A(a)(1), titled “Aggravated identity theft,” imposes a mandatory consecutive two-year prison term on one who, while committing a listed felony, “uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person.” The question presented is whether, to sustain a conviction for aggravated identity theft, the government must prove that the defendant used the other person’s means of identification without their consent.
