- SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
- --------
- No. 91-8674
- --------
- JOHN ANGUS SMITH, PETITIONER v.
- UNITED STATES
- on writ of certiorari to the united states court
- of appeals for the eleventh circuit
- [June 1, 1993]
-
- Justice Blackmun, concurring.
- I join the Court's opinion in full because I understand
- the discussion in Part IIB not to foreclose the possibility
- that the -in relation to- language of 18 U. S. C. 924(c)(1)
- requires more than mere furtherance or facilitation of a
- crime of violence or drug-trafficking crime. I agree with
- the Court that because petitioner's use of his MAC-10
- meets any reasonable construction of the phrase, it is
- unnecessary to determine in this case the precise contours
- of -in relation to- as it appears in 924(c)(1). See ante,
- at 15.
