United States v. Arnold D. Eastin

BENTON, Circuit Judge.

Arnold Dean Eastin pled guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The district court 1 imposed the minimum 15-year sentence for offenders with three prior “violent felony” convictions under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e). Eastin appeals, arguing that his prior convictions are not violent felonies and that the district court committed constitutional error under Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004). Jurisdiction being proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
