United States First Circuit
US v. Holloway, 08-2273
Sentences under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), codified at 18 U.S.C. section 924(e), for conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm are vacated and remanded where the rule in US v. Mangos, 134 F.3d 460, 464 (1st Cir. 1998), that the boilerplate charging language of assault and battery alone establishes a violent felony is no longer good law.
