United States v. Coronado-Cura, No. 12-12344 (11th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to illegally reentering the United States after having been removed to Mexico, in violation of 8 U.S.C. 1326. At issue was whether defendant's prior conviction of simple vehicle flight as defined in Fla. Stat. 316.1935(2) was an "aggravated felony" under U.S.S.G. 2L1.2(b)(1)(C). The court held that any crime that is an Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. 924(e), violent felony is also a U.S.S.G. 2L1.2(b)(1)(C) aggravated felony; the Florida crime of simple vehicle flight is an ACCA violent felony; therefore, that crime is also a section 2L1.2(b)(1)(C) aggravated felony. Accordingly, the court affirmed the district court's sentence.
