QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a federal court may increase a defendant’s sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) by relying on its own finding about nonelemental facts to conclude a defendant’s prior offenses were “committed on occasions different from another.” 2. Ifso, whether the federal court may rely solely on the non-elemental dates alleged in the state court charging documents, absent a transcript of the colloquy in which the defendant confirmed the factual basis for the plea, to find the prior offenses were committed on different occasions. i PROCEEDINGS IN FEDERAL TRIAL AND APPELLATE COURTS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS CASE United States District Court (M.D. Fla.): United States v.
