How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining, “[t]o this day, the definition of ‘attempt’ in New York requires a stronger showing” than the Model Penal Code
• adopting the Second Circuit's conclusion that \[t]he difference between the federal law's requirement of a `substantial step' and the New York law's requirement of `dangerous proximity' is . . . `more semantic than real'\
• analyzing whether New York attempt liability is broader than the federal generic definition to decide whether New York attempted robbery is a crime of violence under the enumerated offenses clause
• “In the absence of compelling reasons, we would not create a circuit split with the circuit that encompasses New York regarding the meaning of New York law.”
