U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-2047
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, for the Court En Banc} Criminal case -
Sentencing. Naylor's Missouri convictions for second-degree burglary in
violation of Mo. Rev. Stat. Section 569.170 (1979) do not qualify as
violent felonies under the Armed Career Criminal Act, and his sentence is
vacated and the matter is remanded to the United States District court for
resentencing. Based on the court's review of the Missouri case law and the
text of the Missouri second-degree burglary statute, Missouri law
established that the phrase "building or inhabitable structure" specifies
means, not elements; because Missouri law provided a clear answer, the
court need not "peek at the record documents" of Naylor's convictions;
Missouri's second-degree burglary statute covered more conduct than does
generic burglary, and the convictions do not, therefore, qualify as
violent felonies under the ACCA. Judge Colloton, concurring in the
judgment, joined by Judge Wollman and Judge Gruender. Judge Loken,
dissenting, joined by Judge Shepherd. Judge Shepherd, dissenting, joined
by Judge Loken.

U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-2047
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Riley, Wollman and Kelly, Circuit
Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Missouri's second-degree burglary statute is
divisible and the court will apply the modified categorical approach to
determine whether defendant's convictions pursuant to Mo. Rev. Stat.
Section 569.170(1) match the generic description of burglary; documents in
the case show his crimes involved burglary of buildings, and the
convictions did qualify as predicate felonies for purposes of Armed Career
Criminal Act sentencing. Judge Kelly, concurring.
