Chambers v. United States

''Chambers v. United States'', , was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that failing to report for incarceration does not qualify as a "violent felony" for the purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act ().
== Background ==
(詳細はArmed Career Criminal Act, enacted in 1984 and since amended, provides for enhanced sentences for felons who commit crimes with firearms. A felon convicted of a "violent felony" or a "serious drug offense" at least three times faces a minimum sentence of fifteen years in prison.
The petitioner, Deondery Chambers, pled guilty in District Court to the charge of being a felon in unlawful possession of a firearm. The prosecution sought to invoke the ACCA's mandatory 15-year prison term on the grounds that Chambers had three prior convictions which qualified: robbery and aggravated battery (1998), a drug conviction (1999), a failure to report for incarceration charge stemming from the robbery and battery conviction. The court had required Chambers to report to a local prison for 11 weekends of incarceration; Chambers missed four of the weekends and was convicted under Illinois law for "fail() to report to a penal institution."〔Quoted in ''Chambers v. United States'', 555 U.S. ___ (2008) (No. 06-11206), p. 2.〕
Chambers challenged the failure to report, arguing that it was not a "violent felony." The District Court disagreed, treating the failure to report as similar to an escape and therefore a violent felony under the ACCA. The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit upheld the District Court. Other Courts of Appeal had come to differing conclusions: the First Circuit agreed that failure to report qualified as a violent felony in ''United States v. Winn'' (2001), while the Ninth Circuit held that it did not in ''United States v. Piccolo'' (2006).〔''Chambers v. United States'', 555 U.S. ___ (2008) (No. 06-11206), p. 2.〕 The Supreme Court granted certiorari to resolve the split.
