Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether there is a reasonable probability of different result if the court below is directed to reconsider its judgment in light of Wooden v. United States

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether there is a reasonable probability of different result if the court below is directed to reconsider its judgment in light of Wooden v. United States, : __ US. _, 142 S.Ct. 1063 (June 21, 2022)? 2. When evaluating whether a state-law offense satisfies the Armed Career Criminal Act’s definition of a “violent felony,” 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B), federal courts often have to interpret and apply state court decisions. Where state-law sources conflict with one another, does the ACCA’s “demand for certainty” constrain a federal court’s interpretation of state criminal law? 3. Mr. Moore was previously convicted of burglary under Texas Penal Code § 30.02(c)(2), which relies on Texas Penal Code § 30.02(a), a statute which allows conviction where a trespasser commits any “felony, theft, or assault” inside the premises. Many of those offenses allow conviction with.a mens rea of recklessness, negligence, or even strict liability. : Is-Texas-Penal Code § 30.02(a) a generic “burglary” offense, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)Gi)? . ii
