Shields v. U.S.

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s habeas petition that challenged his 15-year sentence on illegal possession of firearm charge, where said sentence was based, in part, on finding that he qualified as armed career criminal based on his prior Illinois convictions for aggravated battery, residential burglary and armed robbery. Ct. rejected defendant’s claim that his residential burglary and armed robbery convictions did not qualify as violent felonies under Armed Career Criminal Act.
