U.S. v. BURNOM

No. 93-2884.

27 F.3d 283 (1994)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Vincent BURNOM, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided June 17, 1994.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mark A. Flessner, Asst. U.S. Atty. (argued), Office of the U.S. Atty., Cr. Div., and Barry R. Elden, Asst. U.S. Atty., Office of the U.S. Atty., Cr. Receiving, Appellate Div., Chicago, IL, for plaintiff-appellee.

Daniel G. Martin, Federal Public Defender (argued), Office of the Federal Defender Program, Chicago, IL, for defendant-appellant.

Before EASTERBROOK and RIPPLE, Circuit Judges, and DILLIN, District Judge.


EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.

Vincent Burnom contests only his sentence—a sentence enhanced under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), by virtue of prior convictions. Burnom contends that one of the earlier convictions is invalid because the state judge did not furnish him necessary information before he pleaded guilty, and that he therefore may not receive a recidivist sentence.
