United States v. Lloyd Curry
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM: *
Having pleaded guilty to, inter alia, felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), Lloyd E. Curry does not challenge his conviction; he contests only his 336-month sentence, resulting from the district court’s classifying him as an armed career criminal under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1). Primarily at issue are whether a prior conviction for attempted aggravated oral sexual battery constitutes a “violent felony” under the ACCA and the applicable standard of review. For this appeal, review is only for plain error. AFFIRMED.
