152229P.pdf   03/23/2016  United States  v.  Gregory Shockley
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2229
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The unchallenged statements in the affidavit submitted in support of the search warrant application established probable cause, and the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion for a Franks hearing; on the question of whether defendant qualified for sentencing under the Armed Career Criminal Act, the matter must be remanded for resentencing as the court could not conclude on this record that any of defendant's prior convictions were violent felonies under the force clause of the Armed Career Criminal Act; because the parties were proceeding in this case before the issuance of the decision in Johnson, the government and the district court relied on the residual clause to determine that defendant's prior offenses were violent felonies and the government had no reason to submit documents which could have established that the felonies did qualify under the force clause; as a result, on remand, the district court is not limited to the existing record in determining whether defendant qualified for sentencing as an armed career criminal, and the district court may hear any relevant evidence it could have heard at the first sentencing hearing; the court has not yet decided whether Johnson's void-for-vagueness standard applies to the sentencing guidelines and declines to resolve the issue or otherwise instruct the district court in calculating defendant's advisory guidelines range on remand.
