United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 17-3669 ___________________________ United States of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Robert Brown Defendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield ____________ Submitted: April 19, 2019 Filed: July 25, 2019 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, WOLLMAN, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Robert Brown received an 84-month prison sentence for possessing a firearm as a felon. 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2). On appeal, he argues that the district court1 erroneously counted a prior Missouri conviction of second-degree robbery as a “crime of violence,” which had the effect of increasing his base offense level under the Sentencing Guidelines. See U.S.S.G. §§ 2K2.1(a)(4)(A), 4B1.2(a). In United States v. Parker, No. 17-3732, 2019 WL 2932190 (8th Cir. July 9, 2019) (published), we recently addressed this argument and reached a contrary conclusion. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Stephen R. Bough, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. -2-
