United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm are affirmed where 1) in a prosecution under 18 U.S.C. section 922(g)(1), it was well settled that the government need only prove defendant’s status as a convicted felon and knowing possession of the firearm; and 2) defense counsel agreed with the probation officer’s defense of the enhancements recommended by the presentence report.
