United States Ninth Circuit
US v. Snyder, Nos. 10–302148, 10–30149.
Sentencing of defendant for being a felon in possession of a firearm, 18 U.S.C. section 922(g)(1), is affirmed where district court properly held that defendant's conviction for second degree burglary under state law, ORS section 811.540(1), qualified as a violent felony under ACCA, but reversed where the court erred in ruling that defendant's prior conviction for felony attempt to elude the police, ORS section 811.540(1), was not a violent felony under ACCA.
