United States Second Circuit

Claim that defendant was improperly classified as a "career offender," under U.S.S.G. section 4B1.1 when the District Court determined that his two prior robbery convictions were not "related" and thus count separately, is denied because the offenses were not "related" in the meaning of the term set forth in the Guidelines.
