131779P.pdf   04/29/2014  United States  v.  Willie Stokes
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1779
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Bright, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. Vehicular flight, as described by Michigan Code Section 257.602a(1), is a crime of violence and was properly counted as a predicate offense for career-offender status; the district court's conclusion that defendant had supported himself for 10 years by selling drugs was clearly erroneous and since it was a main factor in denying defendant's request for a downward variance, the error affected his substantial rights, and the matter must be remanded for resentencing. Judge Bright, concurring.
