United States v. Glenton Anthony Peterkin
United States v. Glenton Anthony Peterkin
Opinion
Glenton Peterkin argues that the district court erred by using two Florida convictions to enhance his sentence for being a career offender under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2. But the arguments are squarely foreclosed by this Court’s prior published opinions. Mr. Peterkin’s career offender enhancement is unaffected by the Supreme Court’s decision in Johnson v. United States, — U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015), because vagueness principles do not apply to the advisory Sentencing Guidelines. See Beckles v. United States, — U.S. -, 137 S.Ct. 886, 890, 197 L.Ed.2d 145 (2017); United States v. Matchett, 802 F.3d 1185, 1190 (11th Cir. 2015). And his Florida convictions that supported the enhancement—for robbery (Fla. Stat. § 812.13(1)) and aggravated assault (Fla. Stat. § 784.021)—remain qualifying predicates under § 4B1.2. See United States v. Lockley, 632 F.3d 1238, 1240-46 (11th Cir. 2011) (robbery conviction under § 812.13(1) qualifies as crime of violence); Turner v. Warden Coleman FCI (Medium), 709 F.3d 1328, 1332 (11th Cir. 2013) (aggravated assault conviction under § 784.021 qualifies as crime of violence).
AFFIRMED.
