USA v. Mark Henry Pantle, No. 09-13728 (11th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction for knowingly possessing a firearm after having been convicted of a felony where he was sentenced to 120 months imprisonment. At issue was whether the district court erred in setting defendant's base offense level at 24 on account of his prior Florida conviction of felony battery and his prior Alabama conviction of attempted first degree assault where neither prior conviction qualified as a crime of violence within the meaning of U.S.S.G. 2K2.1(a). The court held that defendant failed to establish that the district court's error could be corrected under the plain error rule when defendant failed to demonstrate a reasonable probability that he would have received a lower sentence if the two prior convictions had not been counted as crimes of violence.
