Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Question Presented for Review The Circuits have confused the categorical analysis—which examines only statutory elements—with the contextually distinct rule that an aider and abettor is punishable for the acts of a principal. The question presented is whether Circuits have failed to apply categorical analysis to aiding and abetting and Hobbs Act robbery’s distinct elements, which do not meet the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A)’s force clause. ii
