United States v. Haney

Charles Haney pled guilty to possessing a gun as a felon. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The district court found that Haney had at least three prior convictions that qualified as “violent felonies” under the Armed Career Criminal Act and sentenced him to *474the mandatory minimum of fifteen years’ imprisonment. See id. § 924(e)(1). On appeal Haney argues that, in light of recent decisions by this court and the Supreme Court, his prior convictions for burglary in Illinois are not appropriate predicates under the ACCA. We agree, vacate the district court’s judgment, and remand for re-sentencing.
