Reginald McGee v. United States
AdministrativeLaw Environmental SocialSecurity Securities Immigration
I. The district court reverisbly erred when it determined that the defendant's prior conviction for aggravated assault was a violent felony qual ifying him as an armed career criminal subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of fifteen years in prison.
II. The conviction is invalid because: the statute, as construed by this Court is unconstitutional, in that it allows for convictions that do n ot have the requisite effect on commerce; the indictment failed to allege all the el ements of the offense; and the plea colloquy failed to establish an offense. (THIS ISSUE IS FORECLOSED BY FIFTH CIRCUIT PRECEDENT AND PRESENTED TO PRESERVE IT FOR FURHTER REWIEW.)
