William Wayne McGee appeals his sentence enhancement under the Armed Career Criminal Act ("ACCA"), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1), arguing that each of his prior convictions for second-degree burglary in South Carolina is not a "burglary" as that term is defined in Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575, 110 S. Ct. 2143, 109 L. Ed. 2d 607 (1990). Finding no merit in McGee's argument, we affirm.

A federal grand jury indicted McGee, a previously convicted felon, on three counts of possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2), and 924(e)(1). The grand jury also indicted McGee on two counts of possessing stolen firearms in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(j) and 924(a)(2). The § 922(g)(1) counts alleged that McGee had "been previously convicted of three violent felony or serious drug offenses." Pursuant to a written plea agreement, McGee subsequently pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm in violation of §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2), and 924(e)(1), in exchange for the government's dismissal of the remaining four counts. At sentencing, the district court treated each of McGee's prior second-degree burglary convictions in South Carolina as a "burglary" under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii), and thus a "violent felony" under § 924(e)(1). Based on these prior convictions, the district court enhanced McGee's sentence under the ACCA, sentencing him to 295 months of imprisonment followed by five years of supervised release.

This court reviews de novo the district court's application of the ACCA. United States v. Munoz, 150 F.3d 401, 419 (5th Cir.1998). See also United States v. Fuller, 453 F.3d 274, 278 (5th Cir.2006) (citing United States v. Stone, 306 F.3d 241, 243 (5th Cir.2002)).

The question before the court is whether each of McGee's prior convictions for second-degree burglary under South Carolina law is a proper predicate offense under the ACCA.1 We conclude that they are.

Prior to his gun-related conviction here, McGee was convicted of seven counts of second-degree burglary, in violation of S.C.CODE § 16-11-312(A). That state criminal statute provides that "[a] person is guilty of burglary in the second degree if the person enters a dwelling without consent and with intent to commit a crime therein." For purposes of the statute, the term "dwelling" has two meanings: "its definition found in § 16-11-10 and also ... the living quarters of a building which is used or normally used for sleeping, living, or lodging by a person." S.C. CODE § 16-11-310(2). In turn, § 16-11-10 provides:

With respect to the crimes of burglary and arson and to all criminal offenses which are constituted or aggravated by being committed in a dwelling house, any house, outhouse, apartment, building, erection, shed or box in which there sleeps a proprietor, tenant, watchman, clerk, laborer or person who lodges there with a view to the protection of property shall be deemed a dwelling house, and of such a dwelling house or of any other dwelling house all houses, outhouses, buildings, sheds and erections which are within two hundred yards of it and are appurtenant to it or to the same establishment of which it is an appurtenance shall be deemed parcels.

In Taylor, the Supreme Court held that for a state-law burglary conviction to be a "burglary" under the ACCA, the state statute of conviction must "correspond[ ] in substance to the generic meaning of burglary." 495 U.S. at 599, 110 S. Ct. 2143. The Court set forth the generic meaning of "burglary" as "an unlawful or unprivileged entry into, or remaining in, a building or other structure, with intent to commit a crime." Id. at 598, 110 S. Ct. 2143.

In determining whether McGee's South Carolina burglary convictions are proper ACCA predicate offenses, we first note that, on its face, the South Carolina second-degree burglary statute corresponds closely to the generic burglary definition. Compare S.C.CODE § 16-11-312(A), with Taylor, 495 U.S. at 598, 110 S. Ct. 2143. See also United States v. Dais, 178 Fed. Appx. 253, 256 (4th Cir.2006) (per curiam) ("[T]he South Carolina statutory definition [for second-degree burglary] substantially corresponds to `generic' burglary.") (footnote omitted). Nevertheless, McGee argues that second-degree burglary in South Carolina is broader than the generic definition of burglary because South Carolina courts have construed the term "dwelling" to include an object that is not "a building or other structure" as required in Taylor. More specifically, McGee argues that the Taylor Court deemed the generic burglary definition not to include entry into objects such as booths, tents, boats, or railroad cars, but that South Carolina's definition of "dwelling," as construed by South Carolina courts, includes entry into such objects.

Assuming—without deciding—that the statute is nongeneric, the South Carolina indictment to which McGee pleaded guilty and the plea agreement support the district court's finding that the South Carolina burglaries were proper ACCA predicate offenses.2 The Supreme Court has directed courts to review "the terms of the charging document, the terms of a plea agreement or transcript of colloquy between judge and defendant in which the factual basis for the plea was confirmed by the defendant, or to some comparable judicial record of this information" when a defendant pleads guilty to prior offenses that are "nongeneric." Shepard v. United States, 544 U.S. 13, 26, 125 S. Ct. 1254, 161 L. Ed. 2d 205 (2005). Here, the South Carolina indictment to which McGee pleaded guilty includes seven counts of burglaries of "dwellings" of individuals located at precise street addresses in South Carolina. Similarly, the plea agreement contains the seven counts of second-degree burglary and describes the burglarized locations with dates, victims' names, and the precise street addresses at which the offenses were committed. Accordingly, the second-degree burglary convictions are proper predicates for purposes of the ACCA.3 See United States v. Kilgore, 7 F.3d 854, 856 (9th Cir.1993) (holding that an indictment for burglary of "buildings with common street addresses" was sufficient for a finding that state-law burglary convictions were proper ACCA predicate crimes). See also United States v. McGarvey, No. 05-30536, ___ Fed.Appx. ___, ___, 2006 WL 1763403, at *1 (9th Cir. June 22, 2006) (memorandum opinion) ("Locations identified with common street addresses constitute `buildings' within the definition of generic burglary.").

The South Carolina indictment to which McGee pleaded guilty and his plea agreement sufficiently demonstrate that McGee's South Carolina second-degree burglary convictions are ACCA predicate offenses. Therefore, the district court's imposed sentence is AFFIRMED.
