Klikno v. U.S.

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendants’ habeas petitions challenging their sentences that were based, in part, on finding that defendants qualified as career offenders under Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), based on finding that their prior Illinois robbery and armed robbery convictions qualified as crimes of violence. Under Stokeling, 139 S.Ct. 544, said convictions qualified as crimes of violence under 18 USC section 924(e)(2)(B)(i) for ACCA purposes, where both offenses required proof of force sufficient to overcome victim’s resistance.
