The Solicitor General filed a brief concluding that the Supreme Court should decide whether a conviction for aiding and abetting in the
possession of a controlled substance can be an aggravated felony. The case is Lopez v. Gonzales, 417 F.3d 934 (8th Cir. 2005). The
petitioner was convicted under a South Dakota statute that was punishable by more than a year and which South Dakota classified as a
felony.
