Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(B) is unconstitutionally vague

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(B) is unconstitutionally vague. (This question is presently before the Court in United States v. Davis, No. 18431.) 2. Whether, even if the Court ruled in Davis that § 924(c)(3)(B) is not unconstitutional, the application of that provision to Mendoza is nonetheless unconstitutional because the Second Circuit decided that a jury determination that Mendoza was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt as to each element of the offense of conviction could be dispensed with.
