ACCA Error

US v. Collier, No. 06-1395
A sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm is vacated and remanded where the trial court erred in applying an enhancement under the Armed Career Criminals Act (ACCA) as defendant's conviction for prison escape under Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. section 750.193 did not qualify as a "violent felony" under the ACCA.
