Addo v. Holder
No. 05-4076
Not Precedential

Judge Sloviter, McKee, and Ambro. Per Curiam on remand from the Supreme Court.
A conviction for escape under 18 USC 751(a) is not a crime of violence. Under the Supreme Court's decision in Chambers, failing to report to a penal institution was not a violent felony. Here, this particular person's conviction for escape was essentially a failure to report by not reporting to a community treatment center. Similar treatment seems proper for finding the failure to report not to qualify as a violent crime in Chambers as saying in this case that a failure to report is not a cirme of violence. Therefore, it is not an aggravated felony.
