1Opinion of the Court
SMITH, Circuit Judge.
Robert D. Strong was convicted of one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) and sentenced to a term of 63 months’ imprisonment and three years’ supervised release. For reversal, Strong argues that the district court erred in admitting his 1987 convictions into evidence under Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b). The government cross-appeals, arguing that the district court erred by failing to sentence Strong as an armed career criminal under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1). We affirm in part and reverse in part.
