United States v. Edwards

In this criminal sentencing case, the Ninth Circuit found--as the government conceded--that burglary under section 205.060 of the Nevada Revised Statutes is not divisible per Descamps and thus is not subject to the modified categorical approach to determine if it is a crime of violence.

It does not specify breaking and entering and apparently it encompasses entering stores open to the public.
