United States v. Christopher Headbird

Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

Decided August 9, 2016No. 15-3718PublishedCited by 16 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

MURPHY, Circuit Judge.

Christopher Headbird pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. The district court determined that Headbird had three prior violent felony convictions and sentenced him to 235 months imprisonment under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA). Headbird appeals, contending that his juvenile adjudication for second degree assault, Minn. Stat. § 609.222, subd. 1, does not qualify as an ACCA predicate offense. We vacate Headbird’s sentence and remand for resentencing.
