Memorandum Opinion and Order

This matter came before the court on the government’s objection to the defendant’s Presentence Investigation Report (PSR).  The court overruled the government’s objection to the PSR at the defendant’s sentencing hearing on May 13, 2003.  The court FOUND that the defendant’s prior state convictions for burglaries of commercial dwellings were not “crimes of violence” for purposes of sentence enhancement under section 2K2.1(a)(2) of the United States Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G. or Guidelines) and the career enhancement provisions of the Guidelines.  The court now writes to explain that ruling.
