United States First Circuit

Sentence for conviction by guilty plea to illegal possession of firearms after having been previously convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year, and illegal possession of firearms that defendant knew or had reasonable cause to believe were stolen, is affirmed where: 1) regarding alleged error by the court in counting two prior convictions as "crimes of violence" under U.S.S.G. section 2K2.1, defendant failed to show either obvious error or that the result likely would have differed but for the claim error; 2) the district court acted within its discretion in denying defendant a downward adjustment for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G. section 3E1.1; 3) application of the two-point enhancement for causing reckless endangerment during flight under U.S.S.G. section 3C1.2 was not erroneous; and 4) defendant's pro se supplemental claims do not merit relief.
