United States v. Van

A jury convicted Lafayette Deandre Van of being a felon in possession of a firearm, violating 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) and 924(e)(1). Van appeals, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to convict and the district court erred in treating Vans three prior drug convictions as separate offenses, triggering a mandatory minimum sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. 924(e), and an enhanced sentencing range under the advisory sentencing guidelines. We affirm.
