1Opinion of the Court

FLOYD, Circuit Judge:

Appellant Randall Cornette was sentenced as an armed career criminal because of certain predicate state convictions that the district court considered to be "violent felonies" under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. § 924 (e). Cornette now contends that in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. United States , --- U.S. ----, 135 S. Ct. 2551 , 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015), he no longer has the requisite number of predicate offenses for the ACCA's sentencing enhancement. In the unique context of the facts presented, we agree.
