1Opinion of the Court
ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.
John Lee Bartel pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. The district court 1 ruled that Mr. Bartel’s four prior state convictions for fleeing police in a motor vehicle constituted violent felonies, thus making him an armed career criminal subject to a 15-year minimum sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA). See 18 U.S.C. § 924(e). Mr. Bartel challenges this ruling and argues that the government breached its plea agreement. We affirm.
