Dennis A. Smith v. United States
Environmental SocialSecurity Securities Immigration
Whether the Court of Appeals incorrectly determined that the Ohio Revised Code §2925.03(A)(2) dealing with preparation for shipment or preparation for distribution was in fact a predicate offence for Career Offender status
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether the Court of Appeals incorrectly determined that the Ohio Revised Code §2925.03(A)(2) dealing with preparation for shipment or preparation for distribution was in fact a predicate offence for Career Offender status. Whether the Court of Appeals incorrectly determined the First Step Act did not apply in the application of 21 U.S.C. § 841(A)(1) and 21 U.S.C. § 851. The overall question of public and judicial importance is a clear and definite interpretation of predicate offenses for determination of Career Offender status, and the continued nuanced interplay of partially reconciled case law will result in vague and problematic results as we have here. i
