1Opinion of the Court
COLLOTON, Circuit Judge.
Cortrell Ramey pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm as a previously convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). At sentencing, the district court1 increased Ramey’s base offense level under USSG § 2K2.1(a)(4)(A) based on a prior conviction. The court concluded that Ramey’s 2009 conviction for second-degree assault under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 565.060.1(5) was a prior felony conviction for a “crime of violence” under the guidelines. Ramey appeals, arguing that the district court committed procedural error in making this determination. We affirm.
