United States v. Rogers Julian Kirk

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided April 17, 1997No. 96-50510PublishedCited by 45 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

JOHNSON, Circuit Judge:

Rogers Julian Kirk appeals his conviction for possession of a firearm as a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). Kirk asserts two points of error on appeal. First, he complains that the district court erred in overruling his motion to suppress evidence unlawfully discovered. Second, Kirk contends that the district court erred in assigning a Sentencing Guideline base offense level (BOL) of twenty because his prior conviction for indecency with a child is not “a crime of violence.” Finding no merit in either argument, we affirm.
