U.S. v. FORD

No. 08-5091.

560 F.3d 420 (2009)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jeffrey Lyndale FORD, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

Decided and Filed: March 18, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

ON BRIEF: Andrew Martin Stephens, Andrew M. Stephens & Associates, Lexington, Kentucky, for Appellant. Charles P. Wisdom, Jr., Robert M. Duncan, Jr., Assistant United States Attorneys, Lexington, Kentucky, for Appellee.

Before: MERRITT, COLE and SUTTON, Circuit Judges.

OPINION

SUTTON, Circuit Judge.

Jeffrey Ford challenges his sentence for bank robbery, arguing that the district court improperly sentenced him as a career offender under § 4B1.1(a) of the sentencing guidelines. Because his previous conviction for a "walkaway" escape is not a "crime of violence" under this provision of the guidelines, we reverse and remand for resentencing.
