SYKES, Circuit Judge.
Nathaniel Capler pleaded guilty to two drug offenses and was sentenced to 141 months’ imprisonment based in part on an Illinois conviction for unlawful restraint that the district court deemed to be a “crime of violence” within the meaning of U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2. See 720 III. Comp. Stat. 5/10-3. On appeal he challenges only the district court’s conclusion that his prior conviction is a crime of violence. 1
