United States v. Kendall, No. 16-6344 (10th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseAnthony Kendall pleaded guilty to forcibly assaulting a federal officer and inflicting a bodily injury. Kendall had two prior felony convictions: a federal conviction for aggravated assault while carrying a firearm and a conviction for assault on a District of Columbia police officer in violation of a local provision. At sentencing, the district court held all three of these convictions supported a career offender sentence enhancement because each constituted a crime of violence under the United States Sentencing Guidelines (USSG). Kendall appealed, contending the district court erred in classifying his conviction under 18 U.S.C. 111(b) in this case and his prior conviction under D.C. Code 22-405(c). Finding that all three of his convictions constituted crimes of violence, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the sentence Kendall received.
