PER CURIAM.
The appellant in this case was sentenced as an armed career criminal. While it
appears Mr. Perkins may have two qualifying offenses for armed career criminal
status, that is, two robbery convictions, the third qualifying predicate is for auto
tampering. Our court has now determined that auto tampering is not a crime of
violence for purposes of armed career offender status. See United States v. Williams,
537 F.3d 969 (8th Cir. 2008).
Accordingly, the sentence is reversed and the matter remanded for resentencing
in accordance with Williams.
