1Opinion of the Court

RILEY, Circuit Judge.

Larry Darnell Armstrong (Armstrong) was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and an armed career criminal. The district court 1 denied Armstrong’s motion to suppress the firearm under the Fourth Amendment, and Armstrong pled guilty. At sentencing, the district court found Armstrong was an armed career criminal under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), and Armstrong was sentenced to the ACCA mandatory minimum of 180 months imprisonment. Armstrong challenges the denial of his motion to suppress, and his sentence as an armed career criminal. We affirm.
