7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Jerry Campbell
Case No.: 15-3869
Officials: EASTERBROOK, SYKES, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges
Focus: Sentencing Guidelines
The issue in this appeal is whether federal bank robbery by intimidation in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) is a crime of violence for purposes of the pre‐2016 federal Sentencing Guideline provision for career of‐ fenders in U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a). We have held that federal bank robbery by intimidation satisfies the elements clause of the statutory definition of a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). United States v. Williams, — F.3d —, No. 16‐3373 (7th Cir. July 27, 2017); United States v. Armour, 840 F.3d 904 (7th Cir. 2016). In this appeal, we hold that federal bank robbery by intimidation is also a crime of violence for the purposes of applying the pre‐2016 versions of the career offender Guideline and affirm the decision of the district court.
