United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction and sentence for possession of a firearm by a felon is affirmed over defendant's contentions that: 1) the district court erred in admitting evidence regarding his prior admission in state court to possessing the firearm in question; 2) the district court and the government violated his rights under Brady v. Maryland; 3) there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction; and 4) his sentence failed to adequately reflect the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a)(2).
