SHEPHERD, Circuit Judge.

Kevin Craig appeals his conviction based on a conditional guilty plea and his subsequent 120-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).

He also appeals his sentence, arguing that one of his prior convictions was not a “crime of violence.” We affirm.
