United States First Circuit

In a conviction for possession with intent to distribute over five grams of cocaine, district court's imposition of a 188-month prison term upon the defendant under the career offender guideline is affirmed, as the Massachusetts conviction for assault and battery on a police officer is categorically a conviction for a crime of violence under the career offender guideline.
