Question Presented (AI Summary)
Does the policy statement's text require the categorical approach?
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
I. Whenever a probationer or supervised releasee faces revocation, the Guidelines Manual assigns a grade to the violation “conduct.” The violation grade affects the suggested sentencing range, and the applicable policy statement reserves the highest grade for felony “c rime[s] of violence” and “controlled substance offense[s].” Does the policy statement’s text require the categorical approach ?
