as a career offender under sentencing guidelines for of a one point wine based upon the district court's determination that his and then the fans the offense for which he had player had was a crime of violence the court essentially used a trial our analysis and reaching that decision the french being a of that at a halfway house in las vegas nevada he left the facility for scheduled drug counseling appointment and failed to return a number of months later mr piccolo self surrendered to the authorities after having lived homeless on the streets for a while the categorical approach under title or and looking first at the the rule are it's obvious the court has said when we look at past crimes we don't want to retry them we don't want to do a whole series of many trials about who shot her in this past conviction so we lo forward to the statute there are numerated offenses burglary of dwellings the murder obvious the old common law crimes of violence that normally are going to be crimes of violence first impression in this market or in fact frankly in any circuit of whether that runs afoul of eighteen u s c thirty five fifty three a which says that the court shall not should maybe must maybe but shall consider the conduct that's the whole vices and thirty six sixty one basically says the same lying is if we followed the government's position here the district court would be i have to put on a blindfold to the circumstances of the incident a fan the government did not and cannot cite to any matter in the record to show that there was a potential of harm to anyone the statute the federal statute seven fifty one in fact what if i have several questions one of them missed the  comments to that effect in his sentencing he said i'm looking at the record but it's a somewhat quantum leap from saying you have past conduct to saying this particular fans that would be in effect earning a bank robbery a bank robber with a prior conviction who just walks into being able to say i will drag walking could be a crime of violence because he could go off i mentioned rule thirty two all require the sentencing court to look at all of the factors thirty five fifty three specifically mentions conduct and the government's position would i ask the court to simply disregard what really happened to say you walked away from a halfway house and you self surrendered there was no incidents of violence but modified and oracle approach is the statute stacks then it includes things like this which we would not ordinarily consider to be a crime of violence so perhaps under not get the benefit of the four level reduction because of the application of the career offender and when the court i ask about looking at the circumstances under a modified following sentencing who left our house and went down to the seven eleven technically under the statute that could be punished as was sky which leads to what i would suggest actual violence as opposed to an actual prison break where you overthrow the guards however all the other circuits that have addressed this have found that using the powderkeg theory that it is a crime of violence and i think  because they said no i am saying people that leave prison under this k b understands that if caught they're going to go back to the place to prison and spend more time probably in a more uncomfortable place and knowing that they choose to go away anyways and that creates a concern that they may do further things to avoid apprehension bolts the general public or to an officer trying to apprehend them equally as important an officer who is tasked with the charge of going out to that state be understands that reasoning and then has to use a heightened sense of caution to apprehend that person and that heightened sense of caution that the concern that we all feel when you hear an escape hundred modified categorical approach we don't look at the facts but we do look at this statute and see whether there are circumstances under which there would to conviction without violence and certainly in this case i think you look at the statute and there are circumstances i think philo under home arrest to works down to the seven eleven and you risk of physical injury which is a far cry from violence and the cases from the other circuits state using the categorical project doesn't have to be that the court can think of a situation where this crime could be committed without accomplished under the terms of those cases like karma break in that it's not going to be crime of violence because you could get a  circumstances it's not a crime finally so but again i think the the reasoning is not that looking at spurs the specific facts of that case it wasn't a crime of violence but looking at the involved in that sort of facility but it suggested that it was something much less than an actual prison and more like a halfway house or or and i the it did not state specifically but the language of it suggests that it was not that's what you think of as a normal prison in fact they used community placement center as a word and it was unclear whether or not they referring directly to the federal prison camp but judge has to consider the underlying facts and circumstances under thirty five fifty three in determining what the ultimate sentence is but must follow the guidelines as if they are their own statutes and they're more specifics that use than the general thirty five fifty three  the terms of what the advice of the guidelines is and that what they're telling wants you to do then is to infuse them together to model the guideline recommendation before the judge makes its own independent determination and the judge could on remand determine that for level reduction potential risk of injury therefore this defendant is a career offender and you should treat it as a crime of violence the fact is the argument also would make it unusual because the current judge sentencing someone could say this is not a crime of violence when the defendant receives  you categorically whether some crimes are either a crime of violence or a controlled substance offense application not to also is somewhat relevant because it defines saying the court should look at the conduct of the offense which element of pursuit that's not there in the thought of possession of farm because of the element of apprehension and because that person has indicated very clearly unlike any other crime very clearly they do not want to be in any secure facility either a walk away even a thank you no very briefly not to belabor this but not every other circuit in fact believes that walking away from an unsecured halfway house is a crime of violence no other circuit believes that there is the consensus that under the title or analysis of prior convictions and for the purposes behind taylor that it is accepted that they are predicate crimes of violence the one case while the government urges that walking away from my pathway house is well of course possession of a firearm is something that is very specifically addressed by statute and guidelines and so forth and you know that's that's correct you are actually recall at the time there was a division in the circuit some circuits found the columns in possession of firearms under eighteen u s c nine twenty  crime of violence other circuits did not find the sentencing commission a few years ago i added and they are commentary or their application out to resolve a conflict in the circuit rather than having it go through the courts that they did not consider possession of a firearm by failing to be a crime of violence that would not preclude a district court from perhaps making
