District Court, W.D. Virginia September 17, 2001, 101CR00014 (United States v. McCloud)

*745

OPINION AND ORDER

JONES, District Judge.

The question before me in sentencing this defendant is whether his prior guilty plea in a Virginia state court to a violent felony, following which the state judge deferred disposition of the charge on condition that the defendant adhere to supervised probation, constitutes a predicate conviction under the federal Armed Career Criminal Act.
