United States Eighth Circuit

Sentence for firearms possession is affirmed where: 1) district court did not err in placing defendant in criminal history category V under the U.S.S.G. as six points were properly assessed under Guidelines sec. 4A1.1(a) for offenses committed before his eighteenth birthday that he was convicted as an adult for; and 2) sentence was not unreasonable as it was below the statutory maximum and the court properly considered Guidelines sec. 3553(a) factors.
