Supreme Court of the United States
Jamar Alonzo Quarles, Petitioner v. United States
June 10, 2019139 S. Ct. 1872
Summary
The Court held that under the Armed Career Criminal Act, a "remaining‑in" burglary occurs when the defendant forms the intent to commit a crime at any time while unlawfully remaining in a building or structure, and that Michigan’s third‑degree home‑invasion statute substantially corresponds to or is narrower than the generic burglary definition, so the conviction qualifies as a predicate offense. Justice Thomas, concurring, agreed with the result but questioned the categorical approach used to apply the ACCA.
