Heading: The 1972 and 1974 Breaking and Entering Convictions

Text: 18 The district court initially held that the government had not met its burden of showing that the two breaking and entering convictions were burglaries, as defined generically by Taylor, because the Ohio breaking and entering statute permitted conviction for the breaking and entering of places other than buildings, such as boats, automobiles, or railroad vehicles. On remand, the government presented the district court with copies of the indictments for these two convictions. Because each indictment charged Cooper with breaking and entering into only dwelling houses, the district court found that the convictions met the Taylor definition of burglary in § 924(e), and were therefore counted as violent felonies. We agree with the district court's reasoning as to these two previous convictions, and count them as violent felonies for purposes of § 924(e). 19
