992 F.2d 1488 (1993)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. John Rudy MENDEZ, Defendant-Appellant. UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. John CHAVEZ, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted December 7, 1992.

Decided May 12, 1993.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David R. Reed, Beverly Hills, CA, Michael J. Brennan, Manhattan Beach, CA, for defendants-appellants.

Kimberly A. Dunne, Asst. U.S. Atty., Los Angeles, CA, for plaintiff-appellee.

Before CANBY, BOOCHEVER and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.

BOOCHEVER, Circuit Judge:

This appeal raises the question of whether conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce by robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951 is a "crime of violence" under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1). We hold that such a conspiracy categorically violates § 924(c)(1) because by its nature it involves a substantial risk that physical force may be used against a person or property in the course of committing the offense.
