Workload Drivers - ACCA and Non-Controlled Substance Mandatory Minimum Drivers



Question: The Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) triggers a mandatory-minimum sentence, and it does not involve controlled substances. 

In ACCA cases, should we be selecting both the ACCA driver and the driver for non-controlled substance mandatory minimum?

Answer: No, select only ACCA driver please. The “non-controlled substance, mandatory minimum” driver is intended to catch non-drug mand-min cases, that do not have their own driver. Some examples include aggravated identity theft, alien smuggling, and the receipt of child pornography. 

Because ACCA does have its own driver, it should not also be coded with the “non-controlled substance, mandatory minimum” driver.
