Lamb v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on April 2, 2018
Issues: (1) Whether the categorical approach, as detailed in Mathis v.
United States, requires courts to determine whether an alternatively phrased statute presents alternative means or alternative elements; and whether, pursuant to this analysis, Michigan’s unarmed robbery statute is indivisible and overbroad because it does not require violent force, and therefore does not qualify as a predicate prior conviction under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1); and (2) whether, pursuant to Mathis, Wisconsin’s burglary statute is broader than generic burglary and therefore does not qualify as a predicate prior conviction under the ACCA.
