Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether this case should be held pending Greer v. United States

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether this case should be held pending this Court’s decision in Greer v. United States, No. 19-8709, which will determine if a circuit court of appeals may review matters outside the trial record in a plain error analysis? Greer is set for oral argument before this Court on Tuesday, April 20, 2021. 2. Whether the evidence was sufficient to convict Mr. Howard of felon in possession necessarily hinges on this Court's decision in Greer v. United States, No. 19-8709, set for oral argument on April 20, 2021. Furthermore, this Court’s review is needed because the 8 Circuit’s prior decisions on insufficiency of evidence are inconsistent with its ruling in Mr. Howard's case. 3. Whether the District Court erred in admitting into evidence: A. A receipt showing Mr. Howard pawned a firearm to a pawn shop on July 20, 2015. B. A video played to the jury showing Mr. Howard resisting arrest and then fleeing from an officer on April 4, 2018. 4, Whether the District Court erred in ruling Mr. Howard’s 1992 Wisconsin conviction for Armed Robbery was a predicate offense under the Armed Career Criminal Act. i
