United States Fifth Circuit

A California conviction for possession of a deadly weapon did not constitute a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. section 16(b), and therefore is not an aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. section 1101(a)(43). Denial of an acceptance of responsibility reduction is affirmed.
