United States v. Nason, 269 F.3d 10, 20
(1st Cir. Oct. 19, 2001) (Maine conviction for assault, under
17-A M.R.S.A. § 207 qualifies as a "crime of violence"
for purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) (felon with a firearm),
since the minimum conduct of "offensive physical contact,"
"invariably emanate[s] from the application of some quantum
of physical force" which is sufficient to constitute
the use of physical force for purposes of defining the offense
as a crime of violence).
