Reeves v. United States

Issues: (1) Whether any conviction for robbery qualifies as a “violent felony” under Armed Career Criminal Act’s elements clause where, as in Florida and several other states, the offense may be committed by using a de minimis amount of force; and (2) whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit’s rule that reasonable jurists could not debate an issue foreclosed by binding circuit precedent for determining whether a movant has made the threshold showing necessary to obtain a certificate of appealability, even when a judge on the panel who issued the binding precedent subsequently stated that the panel’s decision may be erroneous, misapplies the standard articulated by the Supreme Court in Miller-El v. Cockrell and Buck v. Davis.
