UNITED STATES v. BROWN (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff-Appellee v. Robert BROWN Defendant-Appellant

No. 17-3669

Decided: July 25, 2019

Before LOKEN, WOLLMAN, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.

James J. Kelleher, U.S. Attorney's Office, Springfield, MO, for Plaintiff-Appellee Robert Brown, Pro Se Celeste K. Johns, Michelle Nahon Moulder, Federal Public Defender's Office, Springfield, MO, for Defendant-Appellant

[Unpublished]

Robert Brown received an 84-month prison sentence for possessing a firearm as a felon. 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2). On appeal, he argues that the district court ¹ erroneously counted a prior Missouri conviction of second-degree robbery as a “crime of violence,” which had the effect of increasing his base offense level under the Sentencing Guidelines. See U.S.S.G. §§ 2K2.1(a)(4)(A), 4B1.2(a). In United States v. Parker, No. 17-3732, 929 F.3d 940, 2019 WL 2932190 (8th Cir. July 9, 2019) (published), we recently addressed this argument and reached a contrary conclusion. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
