QUESTIONS PRESENTED I Whether a statute has as an element the use of force against the person of another when a conviction under that statute can be based on a reckless mental state.! II Whether reasonable jurists could debate the district court’s decision to dismiss Mr. Villarreal’s motion to vacate. ' The petitions for a writ of certiorari in Alan Victor Gomez Gomez v. United States, No. 19-5325 (filed July 25, 2019), Jose Lara-Garcia v. United States, No. 19-5763 (filed Aug. 28, 2019), Javier Segovia-Lopez v. United States, No. 19-6025 (filed Sept. 20, 2019), among others, raise the same issue as is raised in this petition with respect to whether Texas’s assault and aggravated assault statutes define an offense that has as an element the use, attempted use or threatened use of physical force. i
