101886P.pdf   02/28/2011  United States  v.  James Boyce
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1886
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Hansen and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal Case - sentence. Government appeals district court's refusal to
   sentence Boyce under the Armed Career Criminal Act. District court
   erred in concluding possession of a weapon in a correctional facility is
   not a violent felony because conviction presents serious potential risk of
   physical injury to another and involves purposeful, violent, and
   aggressive conduct, similar in kind as well as degree of risk posed to the
   offenses listed in section 924(e). Because this conviction was Boyce's
   third violent felony, he is subject to sentencing as an armed career
   criminal.
