   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1196
   District of South Dakota   
Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. District court did not err in determining defendant was a career offender; although his state court conviction for attempted escape did not qualify as a felony crime of violence, defendant had two other prior convictions which did qualify as crimes of violence; attempted theft of a vehicle qualifies as a crime of violence under section 4B1.2 of the guidelines because of the risks and dangers inherent in such an offense; dissent by Judge Melloy on the question of whether attempted theft of a vehicle is a crime of violence.
