Orr v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on February 25, 2019
Issue: Whether, when the Supreme Court held in Johnson v.
United States that the phrase “physical force” in the Armed Career Criminal Act requires “violent force – that is, force capable of causing physical pain or injury to another person,” the elements of a robbery offense satisfy the “violent force” threshold if state law requires only that the robber use “any degree” of force to overcome the victim’s resistance, such as the force exerted by a “bump” of the victim’s shoulder while snatching her purse or the force needed to snatch cash from the victim’s grasp.
