Nathan Ray Dent v. United States
HabeasCorpus
Whether an 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) conviction resting on more than one possible predicate offense is unconstitutional where at least one predicate does not qualify as a crime of violence
question presented is whether an 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) conviction resting on more than one possible predicate offense is unconstitutional where at least one predicate does not qualify as a crime of violence. Il. Petitioners also ask this Court to address whether, to make federal armed bank robbery “fit” the 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A) crime-of-violence physical force clause definition, the Circuits interpret armed bank robbery too narrowly by requiring violent force as an element of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). i List of Proceedings United States Court of Appeals (9th Cir.): 1.
