1Opinion of the Court
TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.
Defendant-appellant Vincent Winn (“Winn”) appeals the' sentence imposed by the district court, objecting to its enhancement under the career offender provisions of the federal sentencing guidelines. U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. Winn argues that the government failed to show the requisite predicate offenses because his conviction of a Class B felony under the New Hampshire escape statute, N.H.Rev.Stat. Ann. § 642:6, does not constitute a crime of violence within the meaning of the guidelines. We disagree and affirm Winn’s enhanced sentence as a career offender.
