United States Third Circuit

Sentence for bank robbery is affirmed over defendant's challenges to the computation of his criminal history score based on the "relatedness" of his prior convictions, as the district court did not err in: 1) its interpretation of U.S.S.G. section 4A1.2(a)(2) at the time of defendant's sentencing; or 2) its finding of fact with respect to defendant's prior convictions.
