1Opinion of the Court
RYAN, Circuit Judge.
The defendant, Dwight Wade Seaton, appeals his conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), claiming insufficiency of the evidence. The government cross-appeals from the district court’s refusal to count the defendant’s prior state conviction for grand larceny while in possession of a firearm as a “violent felony” under a provision of the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii). We hold that sufficient evidence supported the conviction, and that the defendant’s prior conviction was a violent felony.
