Tyrone Valentine v. United States
HabeasCorpus
Whether criminal statutes encompassing drunk driving constitute a 'violent felony' under 18 U.S.C.
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether reasonable jurists could disagree on whether criminal statutes that encompass drunk driving “manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life” that “creates a grave risk of death to another person and thereby causes serious physical injury” constitute a “violent felony” that requires as an element, “the use, attempted use, or threated use of physical force against the person of another” within 18 making the issue worthy of a certificate of appealability per 28 U.S.C. §2253(c)(1)(B)? A. This Court’s pending decision in Charles Borden v. United States, No. 19-5410 (argued November 3, 2020), will decide the substantive issue. 2
