William Wooden pleaded guilty to ten burglary counts arising from one episode in which he entered ten storage units in the same facility. When he later faced sentencing as a felon in possession of a firearm, the Government argued that each burglary occurred on a different occasion under the Armed Career Criminal Act and therefore triggered the statute’s fifteen-year minimum. The Supreme Court rejected that interpretation. Applying ordinary meaning and the statutory context, the Court held that Wooden’s ten burglaries occurred on a single occasion because they were committed close together, in one uninterrupted episode, at one location, and as part of a single scheme. The occasions clause requires separate criminal episodes, not merely sequential acts or separate charging counts. The Court reversed the Sixth Circuit’s contrary judgment. Justice Gorsuch, joined by Justice Sotomayor, concurred in the judgment and emphasized the constitutional and rule-of-lenity concerns raised by treating one episode as multiple qualifying convictions.
