UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT FILED May 15, 2019 DANNY LEE BANKS, ) DEBORAH S. HUNT, Clerk ) Petitioner-Appellant, ) ) ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED v. ) STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR ) THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ) TENNESSEE ) Respondent-Appellee. )

BEFORE: MOORE, SUTTON, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

MURPHY, Circuit Judge. The Armed Career Criminal Act increases the punishment for

felons who unlawfully possess firearms (or, as in this case, ammunition) from a maximum of ten

years’ imprisonment to a minimum of 15 years if the defendant has three prior convictions that

qualify as “violent felonies.” Compare 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(2), with id. § 924(e)(1). Under what

has been labeled the “elements” or “use-of-force” clause, the Act defines the phrase “violent

felony” to include crimes that have “as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of

physical force against the person of another.” Id. § 924(e)(2)(B)(i). Today, we must decide

whether this elements clause reaches a Tennessee offense—assault with intent to commit first-

degree murder, Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-2-103(a) (1982)—that has been repealed for some 30 years.

We hold that it does. Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

I.

We detailed Danny Lee Banks’s violent criminal career on direct appeal from his felon-in-

possession conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). United States v. Banks, No. 96-5597, 1997 WL

561421, at *1–2 (6th Cir. Sept. 9, 1997) (per curiam). In 1981, a 16-year-old Banks pleaded guilty

to manslaughter after shooting and killing another teenager. Id. at *1. In 1987, while paroled for

two attempted burglaries, Banks “was convicted of robbery and assault with intent to commit

murder” for two separate episodes, during one of which he “shot a man in the chest at close range.”

Id. Soon after his release for those crimes, Banks went on “another vicious crime spree.” Id. On

November 4, 1991, he shot up an apartment complex, holding residents at gunpoint. Id. On

December 14, he shot two victims during an armed robbery. Id. at *2. Two weeks later, he shot

another victim during another armed robbery. Id. On January 5, 1992, he committed a carjacking.

Id. All told, this crime spree led to various state convictions in 1993 for attempted murder,

attempted aggravated robbery, and aggravated robbery. Id.

Banks’s federal conviction stemmed from a different event on November 26, 1991. Id. at

*1. After responding to a complaint, police found ammunition on Banks and a gun in the car that

he had been driving. Id. The United States charged him with being a felon in possession of a

firearm and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). A jury convicted him of possessing

the ammunition, but not the firearm. Id. Banks’s presentence report treated him as qualifying for

the Armed Career Criminal Act’s sentencing enhancement, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1), based on five

convictions from the 1980s: the manslaughter conviction, the two attempted burglary convictions,

the robbery conviction, and the assault-with-intent-to-commit-first-degree-murder conviction.

Departing upward from the Sentencing Guidelines’ calculated range, the district court sentenced

Banks to life in prison. Id. at *2–3. We affirmed on direct appeal. Id. at *3–4. At that time,

Banks did not dispute his eligibility for the Armed Career Criminal Act’s sentencing enhancement. 2 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

Nearly twenty years after Banks’s conviction, the Supreme Court held that another part of

the Act’s violent-felony definition—the “residual clause” covering a crime that “otherwise

involves conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another,” 18 U.S.C.

§ 924(e)(2)(B)(ii)—was too vague to be judicially enforceable under due-process principles. See

Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551, 2563 (2015). The next year, the Court made Johnson

“retroactive in cases on collateral review.” Welch v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 1257, 1268 (2016).

Banks filed a § 2255 motion on Welch’s heels alleging that his Armed Career Criminal Act

enhancement violated due process because his prior convictions could qualify as “violent felonies”

only under the unconstitutional residual clause. The United States responded that Banks’s robbery

convictions (one from 1987 and four from 1993) were “violent felonies” under the elements

clause’s separate definition (which Johnson did not affect). But four of those convictions, Banks

replied, came after the 1991 possession of ammunition for which he was convicted, and so could

not qualify as “previous” convictions under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1). The district court ordered

another answer, and this time the United States said that Banks’s manslaughter conviction (from

1981), robbery conviction (from 1987), and assault-with-intent-to-commit-first-degree-murder

conviction (from 1987) also qualified as violent felonies under the elements clause.

The district court agreed and denied Banks’s § 2255 motion. Banks v. United States, No.

16-cv-02275, 2018 WL 1954840, at *5–11 (W.D. Tenn. Apr. 25, 2018). It also denied the

certificate of appealability that Banks needed to appeal. Id. at *11–12; 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1).

Banks turned to us for such a certificate. We granted one. While we have held that the

Tennessee statute barring assault with intent to commit first-degree murder falls within the now-

unconstitutional residual clause, we left open whether it fell within the still-valid elements clause.

United States v. Jones, 673 F.3d 497, 505–06 (6th Cir. 2012). We confront that question here.

3 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

II.

The Tennessee statute that underlies our certificate of appealability provided: “Whoever

shall feloniously and with malice aforethought assault any person, with intent to commit murder

in the first degree, or shall administer or attempt to give any poison for that purpose, though death

shall not ensue, shall, on conviction, be imprisoned in the state penitentiary for not less than five

(5) nor more than twenty-five (25) years.” Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-2-103(a) (1982), repealed by

1989 Tenn. Pub. Acts 1169 § 1. Banks asserts three challenges to the district court’s conclusion

that the assault portion of this statute fell within the elements clause. First, he argues that the

United States waived reliance on his assault conviction. Second, he argues that the assault and

poisoning parts of the statute are not “divisible” from one another under our cases, and that the

poisoning portion does not contain the “physical force” required by the elements clause. Third, he

asserts that, even if the statute were divisible, the assault portion also does not include the necessary

physical force. We take these three arguments in turn.

Did the United States waive reliance on Banks’s assault conviction? No. It is debatable

whether this argument even falls within the scope of the question on which we granted a certificate

of appealability. See Dunham v. United States, 486 F.3d 931, 934–35 (6th Cir. 2007). Regardless,

Banks is mistaken. The United States’ initial answer to his § 2255 motion did not “waive” (that

is, intentionally abandon) the use of his assault conviction; it expressly stated that, if needed, the

United States might invoke it. See United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 733 (1993). Nor did the

United States “forfeit” (that is, fail to timely raise) the use of this conviction by inadequately

addressing it in its answer. See id. Banks points to no statute or procedural rule commanding that

such a response exhaust all arguments in detail. Cf. 28 U.S.C. § 2255(b); Rule 5(b) of the Rules

Governing § 2255 Cases. Even assuming (without deciding) that the United States needed to do

so, the district court gave the United States an opportunity to file another response. The rules 4 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

governing § 2255 proceedings authorize amended pleadings “when justice so requires.” Fed. R.

Civ. P. 15(a)(2); Rule 12 of the Rules Governing § 2255 Cases. And, even for affirmative defenses,

the Supreme Court has held that a habeas court may on its own initiative order additional briefing

to address an overlooked defense. See Day v. McDonough, 547 U.S. 198, 209 (2006).

For his part, Banks cites Armstrong v. United States, 107 F. App’x 522 (6th Cir. 2004)

(order), which held that a district court wrongly found a habeas claim untimely when the

government’s answer failed to raise a statute-of-limitations defense. Id. at 523. To the extent

Armstrong holds that a district court may never sua sponte raise such a defense, it did not survive

Day. 547 U.S. at 209. The district court in Armstrong, moreover, appears to have invoked the

defense without giving the defendant “fair notice and an opportunity to present [his] position[].”

Id. at 210; Armstrong, 107 F. App’x at 523. Here, however, the district court allowed Banks to

file a reply and evidence to explain why his assault conviction was not a violent felony.

Is Tennessee’s assault statute “divisible”? Yes. Before explaining why, we must set the

stage with some well-worn Armed Career Criminal Act basics. “Since 1990, the Supreme Court

has instructed federal sentencing courts to use the ‘categorical approach’ to determine whether a

defendant’s previous state or federal felony convictions ‘ha[ve] as an element the use, attempted

use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another.’” United States v. Burris,

912 F.3d 386, 392 (6th Cir. 2019) (en banc). This approach bars courts from diving into the details

of specific crimes to decide whether specific defendants used force on specific occasions. Id.

Instead, courts ask more categorically (hence, the name) whether a crime necessarily entails the

use, attempted use, or threatened use of force such that all defendants convicted of the crime must

have done so. Id. If not, the offense does not count as a violent felony as a legal matter, even

5 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

though many defendants—like Banks, who “shot a man in the chest at close range,” Banks, 1997

WL 561421, at *1—will have used violent force as a factual matter. Burris, 912 F.3d at 392.

This “categorical approach” sometimes comes with a modification—one that the Justices

have “not very inventively” (their words, not ours) dubbed the “modified categorical approach.”

Descamps v. United States, 570 U.S. 254, 257 (2013). This approach gets triggered by “so-called

‘divisible statute[s].’” Id. A divisible statute “list[s] elements in the alternative, and thereby

define[s] multiple crimes.” Mathis v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2243, 2249 (2016). Such a statute,

for example, may define aggravated assault as either causing serious injury or causing injury with

a weapon. E.g., Davis v. United States, 900 F.3d 733, 736 (6th Cir. 2018). These statutes create

distinct crimes with different elements, and the modified categorical approach allows courts to

examine certain records (“for example, the indictment, jury instructions, or plea agreement and

colloquy”) to figure out which offense a defendant committed. Mathis, 136 S. Ct. at 2249. Some

statutes, however, will list only separate means (such as using “a ‘knife, gun, bat, or similar

weapon’”) to commit a single crime (“use of a ‘deadly weapon’”). Id. (citation omitted). For these

statutes, courts revert to the categorical approach by asking if the entire offense—including the

least forceful “means” of violating it—falls within the elements clause. Id. at 2251–57.

This divide raises a question: How do courts distinguish a statute that lists separate

elements identifying separate crimes from one that lists separate means for committing the same

crime? The Supreme Court has offered guideposts. Id. at 2256. If a state supreme court has

already answered this elements-versus-means question, its reading controls the state-law issue. Id.

Or the statute may offer textual clues on its face. If, for example, different alternatives generate

different punishments, those alternatives necessarily qualify as elements that must be found by a

jury under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000). Id. Judicial records might offer a third

6 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

clue: if specific alternatives are routinely charged in state indictments, state actors more likely treat

the alternatives as elements rather than means. See Burris, 912 F.3d at 403–04.

With this summary complete, we can return to the Tennessee assault statute. We find this

statute divisible into two offenses: (1) “feloniously and with malice aforethought assault[ing] any

person, with intent to commit murder in the first degree,” and (2) “administer[ing] or attempt[ing]

to give any poison for that purpose.” Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-2-103(a) (1982). Both state decisions

and state indictments guide us to this conclusion. See Mathis, 136 S. Ct. at 2256–57.

Start with state decisions. The Tennessee legislature enacted the assault-with-intent-to-

commit-first-degree-murder statute in 1829. See 1829 Tenn. Pub. Acts 27, 39 § 52. In the ensuing

decades, the Tennessee Supreme Court issued a trio of decisions clarifying that the statute

“include[d] two classes of cases” (assault and poisoning), Floyd v. State, 50 Tenn. 342, 345 (1872),

and that these two classes “define[d] distinct offenses,” Collins v. State, 50 Tenn. 14, 17 (1870).

The trio begins with Dains v. State, 21 Tenn. 439 (1841). There, the defendant had been

convicted of the assault offense. Id. at 439–40. His “friendly invitation to drink,” by the end of

the night, had turned into a “violent blow with [his] axe,” and the court addressed whether this

assault arose from an intent to murder. Id. at 440–42. The court explained that the assault must

be “of such a character, and made under such circumstances, that, had death ensued, [the

defendant] would have been guilty of murder in the first degree.” Id. at 440. That crime, in turn,

required that the defendant act “wilfully, deliberately, maliciously, and with premeditation.” Id.

Yet the evidence failed to show that the defendant had acted with premeditation. Id. at 441–42.

Collins addressed the poisoning offense. 50 Tenn. at 16. The defendant there argued that

the indictment charging him with attempted poisoning did not make out a statutory violation

because it nowhere alleged “any assault.” Id. The Tennessee Supreme Court gave short shrift to

7 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

this argument, explaining that it was “answered by the statute under which the indictment [was]

had.” Id. at 17. It said that the assault and poisoning provisions created “distinct offenses.” Id.

Completing the trifecta, Floyd discussed the relationship between the two offenses. While

Tennessee’s murder statute then treated “[a] murder perpetrated by lying in wait” as a first-degree

murder without the need to prove premeditation, Floyd recognized that the assault statute lacked

this “lying in wait” text. 50 Tenn. at 344–45. The court thus held that an assault committed by a

defendant “lying in wait” still required proof of premeditation to commit murder, as opposed to

some other felony. Id. at 345–46. When reaching this result, the court recognized that the assault

statute did “include cases where poison is administered or attempted to be given for the purpose

of murder.” Id. at 345. The court thus found that it created “two classes of cases.” Id. In the first,

“where poison is administered or attempted to be given,” “no proof of deliberation or

premeditation is necessary.” Id. In the second, where there is an “assault,” “deliberation and

premeditation must be proved.” Id. To sum up, state decisions have treated these alternatives as

distinct offenses with distinct elements. See Mathis, 136 S. Ct. at 2256.

Now turn to state indictments. The “record of [Banks’s] prior conviction” tends to suggest

that the offenses are distinct. Id. at 2256–57. His indictment charged him with the assault (not the

poisoning) offense and listed the premeditation element required for only the former (not the

latter). It was no outlier. See Burris, 912 F.3d at 404. A sampling of cases shows that other

indictments also have identified the portion of the statute under which a defendant was charged—

whether poisoning, see Collins, 50 Tenn. at 15–16, or assault with premeditation, see Pryor v.

Rose, 724 F.2d 525, 527 (6th Cir. 1984) (en banc); Cooley v. State, 14 S.W. 556, 556 (Tenn. 1889);

Partee v. State, No. M2008-01773-CCA-R3-HC, 2008 WL 4949246, at *4 (Tenn. Crim. App.

Nov. 20, 2008). Indeed, when an indictment failed to include the premeditation element, the

8 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

Tennessee Supreme Court noted that it did not properly charge assault with intent to commit first-

degree murder. See State v. Saylor, 74 Tenn. 586, 587 (1880).

Banks’s arguments fail to convince us otherwise. He begins with textual grounds for

believing that the alternatives list separate means for a single crime: (1) the statute identifies the

alternatives in one sentence rather than subsections; (2) the title “assault with intent to murder”

covers both alternatives; and (3) a nearby subsection increases the punishment if bodily injury

results from “such an assault” (language most naturally read to cover poisoning). All fair points.

But Banks makes them to the wrong court. Mathis teaches that state courts are in charge of

deciding whether alternatives create separate offenses. 136 S. Ct. at 2256. And Tennessee’s courts

have treated this statute as creating “two classes of cases,” one of which has a premeditation

element and the other of which does not. Floyd, 50 Tenn. at 345. Banks responds that these older

cases addressed earlier versions of the statute, and that Collins suggested that the two alternatives

at that time were in different sentences with different punishments. Collins, 50 Tenn. at 17. But

Collins also elsewhere recognized that the poisoning offense was in “the last clause of said

section.” Id. at 15 (emphasis added). Later decisions have also adhered to the same distinctions,

e.g., Curry v. State, 290 S.W. 25, 26 (Tenn. 1926), and the 1850s statute largely mirrors the 1980s

statute, compare Tenn. Code § 4626 (1858), with Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-2-103(a) (1982). To top

it off, our Court has not been troubled by finding that even different verbs in a list of verbs created

separate offenses. E.g., United States v. Eason, 919 F.3d 385, 389 (6th Cir. 2019).

Banks next turns to a pragmatic point, finding it odd that a single act—“such as thrusting

a poison-soaked rag into someone’s face”—could violate both offenses. That is not as uncommon

as he believes. The Tennessee Supreme Court explained that one could violate the assault-with-

intent-to-murder statute and the assault-with-intent-to-rob statute if the defendant harbored both

9 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

intents during one assault. Curry, 290 S.W. at 26. And we have found an assault statute divisible

even though a defendant could simultaneously violate both alternatives (causing serious injury and

causing injury with a deadly weapon). Burris, 912 F.3d at 403–04.

Banks lastly suggests that the assault and poisoning alternatives must be the same offense

because they carry the same punishment. Not so. To be sure, “[i]f statutory alternatives carry

different punishments, then under Apprendi they must be elements.” Mathis, 136 S. Ct. at 2256.

But the opposite is not true. Just because different punishments necessarily show different offenses

does not mean that the same punishment necessarily shows the same offense. Or, for those who

prefer formal logic, Banks’s reasoning suffers from the “fallacy of denying the antecedent.”

United States v. Burtons, 696 F. App’x 372, 378 (10th Cir. 2017).

One last point. Banks does not dispute that the state charged him with (and he pleaded

guilty to) the assault offense. Thus, so long as that offense falls within the elements clause, it does

not matter whether the poisoning offense also does so. See Mathis, 136 S. Ct. at 2249.

Does the assault offense satisfy the elements clause? Yes. As noted, the elements clause

defines “violent felony” to mean a crime that “has as an element the use, attempted use, or

threatened use of physical force against the person of another.” 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)(i). The

text’s key phrase (physical force) commonly means “violent force—that is, force capable of

causing physical pain or injury to another person.” Stokeling v. United States, 139 S. Ct. 544, 553

(2019) (quoting Johnson v. United States, 559 U.S. 133, 140 (2010)). Two cases help visualize

the force that surmounts this “violent” mark. Stokeling found that the force required for common-

law robbery (the “force necessary to overcome resistance by a victim”) rose to the violent level.

139 S. Ct. at 550–54. But Johnson held that the force required for common-law battery (the force

necessary for “the slightest offensive touching”) fell short. 559 U.S. at 139.

10 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

The text next requires that the crime include the “use,” “attempted use,” or “threatened

use” of this violent force “against the person of another.” The first word (“use”) commonly means

“the ‘act of employing’ something,” so this portion of the clause clarifies that it covers crimes that

require “an active employment of” the amount of force that Johnson and Stokeling demand. See

Voisine v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2272, 2278–79 (2016) (citation omitted). The second two

phrases—“attempted use” and “threatened use”—clarify that a crime that does not require the use

of violent force may still fall within the elements clause if it requires a threat or attempt of force

reaching the violent level. E.g., United States v. Rafidi, 829 F.3d 437, 445–46 (6th Cir. 2016); see

also Black’s Law Dictionary 127, 1480 (6th ed. 1990) (defining “attempt” and “threat”).

Under either the Armed Career Criminal Act or the similarly worded Guidelines provision,

we have applied these rules to a mix of “assault” or “battery”-like statutes that, in one form or

another, punish a defendant for causing physical harm. We have held that this type of statute

includes the use of “violent force” if, among other things, it requires defendants to cause a

sufficient level of physical harm rising above Johnson’s mere “offensive touching.” Compare

United States v. Mendez, 593 F. App’x 441, 443–44 (6th Cir. 2014), with United States v. Morris,

885 F.3d 405, 411 (6th Cir. 2018). We have added that, even if the statute fails to reach that level,

it may still qualify as the attempted or threatened use of violent force. So, for example, a statute

that prohibits assault with a deadly weapon falls within the elements clause because, while it may

include only a level of force that Johnson found insufficient, the use of a deadly weapon during

the assault shows that violent force was at least attempted or threatened. See United States v.

Harris, 853 F.3d 318, 321 (6th Cir. 2017).

These principles lead us to hold that the Tennessee assault offense in this case categorically

includes the “attempted use” of violent force. This offense combines a somewhat undemanding

11 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

actus reus (assault) with a very demanding mens rea (intent to commit first-degree murder).

Before 1989, assault was a “common law offense” in Tennessee. Hagood v. State, 190 S.W.2d

1023, 1023 (Tenn. 1945). An assault was “an attempt, or the unequivocal appearance of an

attempt, to do a corporal injury to another, the intent to do harm being essential.” Cowley v. State,

78 Tenn. 282, 284 (1882) (citing Richels v. State, 33 Tenn. 606, 608 (1854)). We are not sure

whether this common-law crime’s “corporal injury” element covered even an attempt to commit a

common-law battery (that is, an attempt to use a level of force that Johnson found insufficient).

Cf. 2 Wayne R. LaFave, Substantive Criminal Law § 16.3(a) (3d ed.), Westlaw (database updated

Oct. 2018); 3 W. Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England *120.

We need not decide that issue today. As noted, the Tennessee assault offense in this case

also was a “specific-intent crime,” State v. Witherspoon, 769 S.W.2d 880, 882 (Tenn. Crim. App.

1988), requiring a defendant to intend a premeditated murder, Phillips v. State, 455 S.W.2d 637,

641 (Tenn. Crim. App. 1970). Thus, Banks “could not have been convicted of nonviolent assault

because the crime he was convicted of included as an element an intent to do great bodily harm”—

indeed, the greatest of bodily harms. Raybon v. United States, 867 F.3d 625, 631–32 (6th Cir.

2017). This intent means that all defendants convicted of the offense will have attempted “violent

force.” That makes this offense like Michigan’s assault with intent to do great bodily harm or

Florida’s assault with intent to commit murder—both of which fall within the elements clause.

See id.; United States v. Pittro, 646 F. App’x 481, 483–85 (6th Cir. 2016).

Banks’s responses again come up short. Citing language from our decision in Pryor that

this offense requires only an “overt act” and a specific intent, 724 F.2d at 530, Banks argues that

the overt act need not be “physical force.” Yet the elements clause’s text reaches not just the

actual use of physical force, but also its attempted use. And the black-letter definition of “attempt”

12 Case No. 18-5510, Banks v. United States

combines the required intent to commit the crime with an overt “act” in furtherance of it. Black’s

Law Dictionary 127 (6th ed. 1990). This same “attempted use” language dooms Banks’s related

argument that common-law assault in Tennessee might reach defendants who merely “frighten

others” without laying a finger on them. Again, an attempt to commit serious physical harm

suffices so long as the harm rises to the “violent” level. See Rafidi, 829 F.3d at 446. Under this

Tennessee assault statute, the attempted harm (killing another) exceeds that level.

Banks also argues that one could cause the physical harm necessary for the assault offense

without using the physical force necessary for the elements clause. He posits such hypotheticals

as “deceiving someone into walking into an open sinkhole” or “locking someone in a cryogenic

chamber.” Our court has rejected textual arguments (and creative hypotheticals) of this kind. We

have instead equated physical force with physical harm, holding that a “defendant uses physical

force whenever his volitional act sets into motion a series of events that results in the application

of a ‘force capable of causing physical pain or injury to another person.’” United States v.

Verwiebe, 874 F.3d 258, 261 (6th Cir. 2017) (quoting United States v. Evans, 699 F.3d 858, 864

(6th Cir. 2012)). We are not alone in doing so. According to a recent Fifth Circuit decision, all

circuit courts have now reached the same conclusion under the Armed Career Criminal Act or its

Guidelines equivalent. See United States v. Reyes-Contreras, 910 F.3d 169, 180–81 & n.23 (5th

Cir. 2018) (en banc) (citing cases); cf. United States v. Castleman, 572 U.S. 157, 170 (2014).

We affirm the district court’s judgment denying Banks’s § 2255 motion.
