United States Eighth Circuit

Conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err in imposing an enhancement under Guidelines sec. 2K2.1(b)(6) for possession of a firearm in connection with another felony offense, as the court properly applied the preponderance of the evidence standard and found the enhancement warranted; and 2) the sentence was not unreasonable.
