   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2249
                          and No:  05-2973
   Northern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Bye and Heaney, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to support convictions for violation of the Hobbs Act and for firearm offenses; pre-identification procedures did not taint identification by persons familiar with the defendants who viewed photos and indicated the men in the photos were the defendants; district court erred in imposing a life sentence on defendant Wilson, as his prior conviction for burglary did not involve proof of violence, threats of violence or possession of a weapon; as a result, the conviction did not qualify as a serious violent felony under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3559(c)(1)(A)(i). Judge Heaney, concurring.
