   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2444
                          and No:  11-2489
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, for the Court En Banc] Criminal case - Criminal law. For the panel opinion in the matter, see United States v. Tucker, 689 F.3d 914 (8th Cir. 2012), vacated, Nos. 11-2444/2489 (8th Cir. Jan. 14, 2013). The court reinstates the panel opinion, except for its section II.D regarding Tucker's sentence; with respect to the question of whether Tucker's prior conviction under a Nebraska escape statute (Neb. Rev. Stat. Sec. 98-212)qualified as a violent felony for purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act, the elements of the portion of the statute under which Tucker was convicted do not, in the ordinary case, encompass conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another, and a conviction under that portion of the statute cannot serve as a predicate conviction for ACCA purposes; Tucker's sentence is vacated and the matter is remanded for resentencing. Judge Loken, concurring in the judgment. 112444P.pdf 08/23/2012 United States v. Alfred Tucker U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-2444 and No: 11-2489 U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Cases - conviction and sentence. District court did not err in denying motion to suppress, as direct, in-person identification of a car as having been involved in a crime made by housing authority officer known to officers was sufficient to give rise to Terry stop. Evidence was sufficient to sustain conviction for felon in possession of firearm. Admission of officer's testimony as to statements by onlookers was not plain error. Sentence under Armed Career Criminal Act was supported, as escape conviction was a proper predicate offense and assault convictions involved intentionally striking of victim. District court did not abuse its discretion in ordering revocation of supervised release sentence to run consecutively.
