United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Louis Wayne Galligan, Defendant-appellant, 46 F.3d 1147 (9th Cir. 1995)

MEMORANDUM^** 

Louis Wayne Galligan appeals his sentence imposed following his conviction by guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Galligan contends that his state burglary conviction under Wash. Rev. Code Sec. 9 A. 04.110 did not qualify as a predicate violent felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act (18 U.S.C. § 924(e)) because his conviction did not meet all the requirements of a "generic burglary" as set forth in Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575 (1990). Specifically, he contends that section 9 A. 04.110 defines "building" more broadly than Taylor. Because the information to which Galligan pleaded guilty charged him with entering a building with a common street address, his burglary conviction included the element of entering a "building" consistent with Taylor. See United States v. Kilgore, 7 F.3d 854, 855 (9th Cir. 1993). The district court therefore properly determined that Galligan's burglary conviction constituted a predicate violent felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act. Id.

AFFIRMED.
