Valentini v. United States

1. Whether New York robbery in the third degree, N.Y. Penal Law § 160.05, is a “violent felony” under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)(i). 2. Whether the district court’s failure to advise Mr. Valentini at his guilty plea hearing that the government would have to prove he knew he belonged to the relevant category of persons barred from possessing a firearm, as required by Rehaif v. United States, 139 S. Ct. 2191 (2019), is structural error or, if not, whether it is plain error that warrants relief.
