Cert grant for Miami FPD
The grant in Stokeling v. US involves whether a state robbery offense
that includes "overcoming victim resistance" as an element is a "violent
felony" under the Armed Career Criminal Act. Here is the 11th Circuit per curium opinion, with a concurrence by Judge Martin. Congrats to the Federal Public Defender's Office for getting cert in this case.

Brenda!
Brenda Bryn is a brilliant appellate lawyer. No one could be better suited to brief and argue this case.
In a pure meritocracy, Ms. Bryn would be a federal circuit court judge. Luckily for us and her clients, she toils and excels as an appellate attorney on behalf of indigent defendants.
Dems should obstruct like GOP. Fight fire with fire.
