In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
One example is below.
Q: Drapeau's cohorts, the cohort would be a "victim" of making the bomb. Further, firebombs are inherently dangerous. There is no peaceful purpose for making a bomb. Felony offenses that involve explosives qualify as "violent crimes" for purposes of enhancing the sentences of career offenders. See 18 U.S.C. 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) (defining a "violent felony" as: "any crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year ... that ... involves use of explosives"). Courts have found possession of a'bomb to be a crime of violence based on the lack of a nonviolent purpose for a bomb and the fact that, by its very nature, there is a substantial risk that the bomb would be used against the person or property of another. See United States v. Newman, 125 F.3d 863 (10th Cir.1997) (unpublished) (<HOLDING>); United States v. Dodge, 846 F.Supp. 181,, Holding statements: (A) holding that possession of a pipe bomb is a crime of violence for purposes of 18 usc 3142f1 (B) holding that bank robbery by force and violence or intimidation under 18 usc 2113a is a crime of violence (C) holding that sexual assault of a child qualified as crime of violence under 18 usc 16 (D) holding for the purposes of 18 usc 924e that being a felon in possession of a firearm is not a violent felony as defined in 18 usc 924e2b (E) holding that a court must only look to the statutory definition not the underlying circumstances of the crime to determine whether a given offense is by its nature a crime of violence for purposes of 18 usc 16
A: (A)
Rationale: It's a good example. Based on the given prompt, option (A) is correct.
Q: the postcard. As a factual matter, whether Mitchell proves that Hood made defamatory statements in the postcard does not govern Hood's claims against Judge Anderson-Trahan. Hood's claims against Judge Anderson-Trahan for putting Hood's name on the postcard may succeed or fail in a scenario where Mitchell's claims against Hood succeed or a scenario where Mitchell's claims against Hood fail. Judge Anderson-Trahan is no more or less liable to Hood based upon Hood's liability to Mitchell. Furthermore, Hood has not asserted that his claims against Judge Anderson-Trahan are derivative of Mitchell's claims against Hood. Hood does not seek damages from Judge Anderson-Trahan contingent upon his liability on Mitchell's claims. In fact, Hood specifically alleges that he has been harmed by Jud 0) (<HOLDING>) (alteration in original). Because we decide
