163078P.pdf 07/02/2018 Robert Cravens v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-3078
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. Neither Cravens' Illinois burglary nor his
Missouri second-degree burglary convictions are violent felonies under the
Armed Career Criminal Act; as a result, he does not have three qualifying
prior convictions and was improperly sentenced as an armed career
criminal; his 216-month sentence exceeds the statutory maximum that should
have applied under 18 U.S.C.Sec. 924(a)(2), and the matter is remanded for
resentencing; the court expresses no view on what sentence the district
court should impose and holds only that the record before the court fails
to establish that the constitutional error at the original sentencing was
harmless.
