of his criminal history and likelihood of reoffending. Currie notes that most of his prior convictions were remote and that he has demonstrated both a decrease in criminal behavior since 1990 and a decrease in violent conduct since 2006. However, the vast majority of Currie's adult life has been spent in prison, undermining his argument that his reduction in criminal convictions during this period is indicative of reduced criminality. Notably, Currie's dozens of institutional would impose the same sentence as a variance sentence, even if it erred in its Guidelines calculations or application of U.S.S.G. 4A1.3(a). And although Currie identified nonfrivolous mitigating factors in support of a lower sentence, see, e.g., United States v.

Using that approach, Rodriguez's California first degree burglary conviction does not constitute generic burglary because California Penal Code Sections 459 and 460 do not require "unlawful or unprivileged entry" for a burglary conviction. See Taylor, 495 U.S. at 599, 110 S.Ct. 2143 ("A few States' burglary statutes, however, define burglary more broadly, e.g., by eliminating the requirement that the entry be unlawful."); see also People v. Frye, 18 Cal.4th 894, 954, 77 Cal.Rptr.2d 25, 959 P.2d 183 (Cal. 1998) (<HOLDING>). Where, as here, the state burglary statute is
