The following excerpt is from United States v. Maslar, No. 15-2813-cr (2nd Cir. 2016):

3. As we have recently explained, "[t]o determine whether an offense is a crime of violence, courts employ what has come to be known as the 'categorical approach.' . . . [u]nder [which] courts identify the minimum criminal conduct necessary for conviction under a particular statute . . . . and then . . . consider whether such conduct amounts to a crime of violence." United States v. Hill, 2016 WL 4120667, at *3, --- F.3d --- (2d Cir. Aug. 3, 2016) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
