United States v. Leonard Letron Summers

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
United States v. Leonard Letron Summers, 238 F. App'x 552 (11th Cir. 2007)

United States v. Leonard Letron Summers

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Leonard Summers appeals his sentence of imprisonment for 188 months for possession with intent to distribute cocaine base. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Summers contends that the district court erred when it determined that his prior escape conviction qualified as a crime of violence and applied the career offender enhancement to his base offense level. Summers’s argument is foreclosed by our decision in United States v. Gay, 251 F.3d 950, 954 (11th Cir. 2001), that “a prior escape conviction qualifies as a ‘crime of violence’ under the career offender guideline.” Gay remains the law in this Circuit. The district court did not err.

Summers’s sentence is

AFFIRMED.
