United States v. McCranie, No. 17-1058 (10th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseEdward McCranie pleaded guilty to federal bank robbery. The presentence report (PSR) treated that conviction as a crime of violence under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G.) Manual section 4B1.2(a)(1), as it also did for McCranie’s earlier convictions for federal bank robbery. With these predicate convictions, McCranie qualified as a career offender under U.S.S.G. The issue this case presented for the Tenth Circuit’s review was whether a conviction for federal bank robbery categorically qualified as a crime of violence under the elements clause of the career-offender sentencing guideline. The Tenth Circuit concluded that it did.
