United States v. Cornelius Johnson
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Non-Argument Calendar.
1Per curiam
In this interlocutory appeal pursuant to Federal Rule Appellate Procedure 9, Cornelius Johnson challenges the district court’s order requiring his detention under 18 U.S.C. § 3143 after having pleaded guilty to a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), which prohibits the possession of a firearm by a felon. We expedited this appeal in order to address the issue before it becomes moot. Because we conclude that possession of a firearm by a felon is not a “crime of violence” within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3156(a)(4), we vacate and remand.
