162047P.pdf   04/05/2018  United States  v.  Charles Naylor, II
   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. 162047U.pdf 03/28/2017 United States v. Charles Naylor, II 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[UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Riley, Wollman and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing.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.
