United States v. Leonard

Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit

Decided May 5, 2004No. 03-5563Published

1Opinion of the Court

SUTTON, Circuit Judge.

Danny W. Leonard pleaded guilty to (1) distributing a controlled substance in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). and (2) possessing a firearm while subject to a domestic violence order in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(8) and 924(a)(2). He received two concurrent eighteen-month sentences. On appeal Leonard argues that the district court should have given him a reduction under § 2K2.1(b)(2) of the Sentencing Guidelines as a lawful collector of firearms. We hold that he is ineligible for the reduction, and accordingly we affirm.
