Whether a state statute criminalizing possession of 'counterfeit' controlled substances qualifies as a 'serious drug offense' under the Armed Career Criminal Act

QUESTION PRESENTED The question presented in this case is whether, as the circuit court held, a state statute criminalizing possession of “counterfeit” controlled substances — which are not proscribed as “controlled substances” by federal drug laws — nevertheless qualifies as a “serious drug offense” under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), such that a defendant previously convicted under such a statute is subject to the fifteen-year mandatory minimum term of imprisonment imposed by the Act. i
