221528P.pdf 02/27/2023 United States v. Eric Coleman
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-1528
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. The district court did not err in
determining that defendant qualified under Guidelines Sec. 4B1.1 for
career-offender sentencing; defendant's Illinois convictions for attempted
murder and vehicular carjacking fell within the fifteen-year limitations
period as he was serving a revocation prison sentence for the crimes
within fifteen years of the instant offense; the crimes were crimes of
violence as the attempted murder offense has the same elements as the
generic federal offense and thus qualified as a predicate offense under
Sec. 4B1.2(a)(1); defendant does not challenge that his drug conviction is
a qualifying offense and, given that two predicates were established, the
court need not deal with his challenge to use of his vehicular carjacking
offense as a predicate.
