UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. ANTHONY VERDEAN DANIELS, Defendant-Appellant
Anthony Verdean Daniels appeals his 224-month sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), for possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. His appeal rests on the assertion that Texas Penal Code § 30.02 is not divisible under Mathis v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2243 (2016). After his brief was filed, we held that § 30.02 is divisible under Mathis. United States v. Uribe, 838 F.3d 667, 669-71 (5th Cir. 2016), cert. denied, 2017 WL 661924 (Mar. 20, 2017) (No. 16-7969). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
