Teacher: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. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

This contention appears to be one of ignorance of the law "I thought the law applied differently than it does." See United States v. Capps, 77 F.3d 350, 353 (10th Cir.1996). This type of argument is "easily rejected." See United States v. Reed, 114 F.3d 1053, 1057 (10th Cir.1997) (<HOLDING>). Accordingly, evidence concerning Mr. Markey's
Holding statements: (A) holding that a claim is not moot where there is a viable damages claim (B) holding that a good faith belief that a firearm is inoperable is not a viable defense to 18 usc 922g (C) holding that good faith is a defense to the willful filing of false statements under 18 usc 1001 (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 the test for good faith is the actual belief of the party and not the reasonableness of that belief
