United States First Circuit

Defendant's predicate conviction for assault and battery on a police officer is categorically a crime of violence for purposes of U.S.S.G. section 4B1.1; his predicate conviction for simple assault and battery was also a crime of violence, because he assaulted and beat the victims with a dangerous weapon.
