Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED A. Should a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals of the Eleventh Circuit's Order Denying A Second Or Successive habeas petition for. relief under 28 U.S.C. Section(s) 2255(h) and 2244(b), be considered binding precedent, when binding precedent of that same circuit and sister circuits preclude such actions (Reaching the merits)? B. Prior to the ruling of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in St. Fleur, holding that a Hobbs Act Robbery is categorically a crime of violence (As a case of first impression in that circuit), was Petitioner's conviction for Using/Carrying A Firearm In Relation To A Crime of Violence both unlawful and a non-existent crime in relation to Hobbs-Act Robberies? C. Does robbery under the Hobbs Act categorically qualify as a "crime of violence" under the Elements Clause of 18 U.S.C. 924 (c)(3) (A)? (ii)
