Question Presented (from Petition)
1. In light of United States v. Stitt , 586 U.S. 27 (2018), can the Texas burglary statute – which the Fifth Circuit has held to be indivisible – properly be the basis for an enhanced sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act, given that a person can be convicted under the statute for doing nothing more than entering a storage building with the intent to commit theft?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the Texas burglary statute qualifies as a predicate offense under the Armed Career Criminal Act after United States v. Stitt, given its potentially overbroad definition of burglary
