United States Seventh Circuit
US v. Sonnenberg, 09-2801
In a prosecution of defendant for crack cocaine distribution conspiracy, district court's imposition of an enhanced sentence in treating him as a career offender under the sentencing guidelines is vacated and remanded as, under the Supreme Court's decision in Begay v. US, 533 U.S. 137 (2008), defendant's Minnesota conviction for "intra familial sexual abuse" does not qualify as a crime of violence within the meaning of U.S.S.G. section 4B1.1.
