Kaleb Jermaine Myers v. United States
HabeasCorpus
Whether Hobbs Act robbery is a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(8)(A)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED (1) Whether this Court should grant certiorari to resolve the conflict among the lower federal courts and decide the important legal question of whether Hobbs Act robbery under 18 U.S.C. § 1951(b)(1) is a crime of violence within the meaning of the “force” or “elements” clause of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(8)(A). (2) Whether this Court should grant Mr. Myers a certificate of appealability because reasonable jurists could disagree — and have disagreed — about whether Hobbs Act robbery qualifies as a crime of violence under § 924(c)(8)(A). ii PARTIES The parties to this action are Kaleb Jermaine Myers and the United States of America.
