United States v. Raupp, No. 11-2215 (7th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Defendant pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm despite his status as a felon, 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1), and was sentenced, as a "career offender," to 100 months' imprisonment. The Seventh Circuit affirmed use of his Indiana conviction for conspiracy to commit robbery as a predicate "crime of violence" under the Guidelines. The court noted that the Guidelines contain different language than the Armed Career Criminal Act, under which a "violent felony" is an offense in which violence is an element. An application note concerning inchoate offenses is unique to the Guidelines.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on April 12, 2012.
