United States Fourth Circuit

In a conviction of defendant for being a felon in possession of a firearm, the district court's imposition of a 60-month sentence is vacated and remanded as the district court erred in calculating defendant's sentencing range under the Guidelines by counting his conviction for felony escape under Georgia law as a "crime of violence" under U.S.S.G. section 2K2.1(a)(4)(A) as the term "crime of violence" is defined by U.S.S.G. section 4B1.2(a).
