Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided May 16, 2014No. 13-1256PublishedCited by 17 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
THOMPSON, Circuit Judge.
OVERVIEW
Levell Matthews stands convicted of one count of conspiring with others to make false statements to a firearms dealer, three counts of possessing a firearm fol lowing a felony conviction, and one count of possessing marijuana. He complains about the district court’s rulings denying him a judgment of acquittal on the marijuana-possession count and enhancing his sentence four levels for possessing a gun “in connection with” felony drug trafficking. Finding none of his arguments persuasive, we affirm.
