032942P.pdf   07/13/2004  USA  v.  Thomas Eugene Mills
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2942
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Criminal Case - sentencing. District court erred in relying on Second 
   Circuit decision in determining defendant's three prior burglary 
   convictions were part of single common scheme or plan and disqualified 
   as a career criminal under Guidelines 4B1.1. Under Eighth Circuit 
   precedent, prior burglary convictions were not part of common scheme or 
   plan, as they took place over six-month period, were committed in 
   different counties, against different victims and were not consolidated for 
   disposition at trial or sentencing. Sentence is reversed and case remanded 
   for resentencing. [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Heaney and
