Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the district court erred in finding that Brown is a career offender under U.S.S.G. §§4B1.1 and 4B1.2, where one of Brown's predicate convictions only required a mens rea of recklessness at the time of commission and thus did not qualify as a 'crime of violence' pursuant to Borden v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1817 (2021), and where the district court judge specifically stated that he almost certainly would have chosen a lower sentence if the career offender designation did not apply
