Prior Decision
On appeal from the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii, Honorable Derrick K. Watson, U.S. District Judge, U.S. D.C. Nos. 1:15-cv-00313-DKW, 1:15-cr-00360-DKW, 1:14-cr-00751-DKW.
Argument(s)
The residual clause of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(B) is void for vagueness. Armed bank robbery is not categorically a "crime of violence" under § 924(c)(3)(A).
