Question Presented (from Petition)
I. When the government agrees that a claim was properly preserved below, can a court of appeals sua sponte hold the claim forfeited, then dismiss the claim as waived, or has the government "waived the waiver"?
II. If a crime has a causation-of-harm element, does it also necessarily have an element of violent force for purposes of classifying the crime as a violent crime?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether a court of appeals can sua sponte hold a preserved claim forfeited and then dismiss it as waived when the government agrees the claim was properly preserved
