1Opinion of the Court
EDWARD C. PRADO, Circuit Judge:
This case involves a consolidated criminal appeal in which David Lee Brewer and William Eugene Boyd (collectively, “the Appellants”) each pleaded guilty pursuant to a plea agreement to one count of bank robbery. The Appellants were sentenced as career offenders in separate proceedings. The Appellants both objected to application of the career-offender enhancement during sentencing. The district court in both cases overruled this objection, and Brewer and Boyd now appeal. Because federal bank robbery qualifies as a crime of violence under § 4B1.2(a)(l), we AFFIRM.
