Supreme Court of the United States

Shular v. United States

February 26, 2020589 U.S. 154

Summary

The Court held that 18 U.S.C. §924(e)(2)(A)(ii) requires only that a state offense involve the conduct of manufacturing, distributing, or possessing with intent to manufacture or distribute a controlled substance, rejecting a generic‑offense comparison; consequently the Eleventh Circuit’s judgment affirming Shular’s ACCA‑enhanced sentence is affirmed.
