Pending
Question presented
Whether a defendant challenging a prior state conviction under the crime-of-violence force clause must produce an actual state-court decision applying a facially overbroad statute to non-generic conduct—as the Fifth Circuit alone requires—or whether the statutory text and elements suffice to demonstrate overbreadth—as every other circuit holds?
