IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 19-55717 · judgment June 3, 2025
Questions presented
-
Under a categorical approach, does the least culpable conduct needed to prove a co-conspirator's liability for a principal's substantive violent crime pursuant to Pinkerton v. United States, 328 U.S. 640 (1946) necessarily satisfy the requisite "crime of violence" predicate of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A) following this Court's decision in United States v. Taylor, 596 U.S. 845 (2022)?
-
Must the "use of physical force" required to establish a predicate "crime of violence" under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A) be personal to the defendant convicted of using a firearm during that crime of violence under § 924(c), following this Court's decision in Borden v. United States, 593 U.S. 420 (2021)?
