MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Hill, 890 F.3d 51 (2nd Cir. 2016):

Ming Lam Sui v. INS , 250 F.3d 105, 11718 (2d Cir. 2001) (quoting Lewis v. INS , 194 F.3d 539, 543 (4th Cir. 1999) ). As relevant here, the categorical approach requires us to consider the minimum conduct necessary for a conviction of the predicate offense (in this case, a Hobbs Act robbery), and then to consider whether such conduct amounts to a crime of violence under 924(c)(3)(A).
