1Opinion of the Court

STAHL, Circuit Judge.

Defendant Adam Brake pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1). In calculating Brake's sentence, the district court applied, inter alia , a two-level enhancement for possession of a stolen firearm and a four-level enhancement for using a firearm in connection with another felony. On appeal, Brake challenges the district court's application of these two enhancements. After careful consideration, we affirm.
