Terry L. Wooten, District Judge.
(CR-03-472)
Submitted:
January 4, 2006
Decided:
February 6, 2006
PER CURIAM:
Travis Sintell McCrea pled guilty to possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon, 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) (2000), and was
sentenced to a term of 120 months imprisonment. McCrea appeals his
sentence, arguing that the district court engaged in impermissible
double counting by applying both U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual
2K2.1(b)(5) (2002), and USSG 3C1.2.
