United States DC Circuit

Conviction of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon is affirmed over claims that: 1) the district court erred in treating defendant's prior felony convictions for escape as "crime[s] of violence" under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines; and 2) there was insufficient evidence to sustain his conviction.
