1Opinion of the Court
SHEPHERD, Circuit Judge.
Aemonn Alexander pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Alexander was sentenced to 180 months imprisonment as an armed career criminal under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1). Alexander appeals his sentence, arguing that because his conviction for Assault Second Degree does not qualify as one of three predicate offenses, the district court 1 erred in applying the armed career criminal enhancement. We find his Assault Second Degree conviction qualifies as a “violent felony.” We affirm.
