Taylor v. United States

Arthur Lajuane Taylor (defendant) pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and faced a sentence enhancement under the Armed Career Criminal Act based on his prior convictions, including two Missouri second-degree burglary convictions. Taylor argued those burglary convictions should not count toward the enhancement because they did not involve conduct presenting a serious risk of physical injury to others. Under his plea agreement, Taylor retained the right to appeal the enhancement, and he did so.
