Environmental AdministrativeLaw SocialSecurity Securities Immigration
1. Whether a state burglary offense is categorically broader than generic burglary under the Armed Career Criminal Act when it can be committed without entry into an enclosed space, such as simply walking under a carport, and can be committed by breaking into structures designed to hold only property and not people.
2. Whether a defendant who pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm as a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) and 924(a), is automatically entitled to plain-error relief if the district court did not advise him that one element of that offense is knowledge of his status as a felon, regardless of whether he can show that the district court's error affected the outcome of the proceedings.
