U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-3730
Southern District of Iowa
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Murphy and Bye, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - criminal law. District court's determination that prior
conviction for lascivious acts with a child was an aggravated felony but
not a crime of violence under Guidelines sec. 2L1.2(b)(1)(B) is reversed.
Where an overlap between Subpart A and C of section 2L1.1.2(b) which
both contain a reference to sexual abuse of a minor, court is directed to
apply the greatest offense enhancement. Lascivious acts with a child
constitutes sexual abuse of a minor and thus district court erred in
declining to apply the 16-level enhancement. Case is remanded for
resentencing.
