United States Eleventh Circuit

Defendant's sentence for possession of ammunition by a convicted felon is affirmed over a claim that that he should not have been sentenced as an armed career criminal, because felony battery under Florida law does not come within the definition of "violent felony" that is contained in the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA).
