United States First Circuit
US v. Soto-Rivera, 14-1216
After pleading guilty to illegally possessing a firearm and ammunition, defendant's sentencing as a Career Offender because he committed a crime of violence as defined by U.S.S.G., is vacated where being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 922(g)(1) is not a crime of violence under the Career Offender provisions in U.S.S.G. section 4B1.2(a).
