The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:
(1)
Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, docket no. 16, this matter is again
STAYED pending resolution of United States v. Dominguez, No. 14-10268, which is
currently proceeding before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Although the Court agrees with the parties that the Ninth Circuit might provide guidance
in Dominguez concerning whether a Hobbs Act robbery constitutes a “crime of violence”
under the “elements clause” of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A), the Court also observes that the
appellant in Dominguez has asked for re-examination of the holding in Deal v. United
States, 508 U.S. 129 (1993), and that 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(C) was amended in late 2018,
while this case was previously stayed. The parties are DIRECTED to file a Joint Status
Report within fourteen (14) days after a decision is issued by the Ninth Circuit in
Dominguez or any other case addressing either of the subjects described above, namely
the status of Hobbs Act robberies or the vitality of Deal in light of the recent statutory
amendment, or by December 31, 2019, whichever occurs earlier.
