U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-2399
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Bright, Circuit Judges -
please note this opinion is being filed by Judges Wollman and Loken
pursuant to 8th Cir. Rule 47E following the death of Judge Bright]
Criminal case - Criminal law. On remand from the Supreme Court for further
consideration in light of Mathis v. United States , 136 S. Ct. 2243
(2016). For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see U.S. v. Mathis,
786 F.3d 1068 (8th Cir. 2015). The Supreme Court's decision in Mathis,
which did not address the ACCA's force clause, does not alter the court's
prior opinion that defendant's Michigan robbery convictions were ACCA
violent felonies, and that portion of the court's prior opinion is
reinstated; nor does Mathis alter the court's conclusion that the state
court charging document established that defendant's prior Wisconsin
burglary conviction was for the crime of generic burglary, an enumerated
felony in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(e)(2)(B)(ii); as a result, defendant was
properly sentenced under the ACCA, and his sentence is affirmed.

U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-2399
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[UNPUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bright and Wollman, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not err in concluding
defendant's two prior Michigan unarmed robbery convictions and a prior
Wisconsin burglary conviction were violent felonies as that term is
defined in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(e)(2)(B), or in sentencing defendant to the
mandatory minimum sentence.
