Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
MELLOY, Circuit Judge.
Timothy G. Ossana challenges the sentence he received after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. He specifically challenges the district court’s calculation of a base offense level pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guideline § 2K2.1(a)(4)(A), which applies when a defendant in unlawful possession of a firearm has a prior felony conviction for a “crime of violence.” Ossana argues the government failed to establish that a prior Arizona conviction for aggravated assault qualified as a crime of violence. We reverse and remand for resentencing.
