United States v. Donald Caldwell
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Non-Argument Calendar.
1Per curiam
Defendant-appellant Donald Caldwell was convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g).

Specifically, he contends that he was entitled to a reduction under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(2) 1 based on his brother’s possession of the firearm for sporting purposes.
