Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Sandy James Oates appeals his sentence after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2) (2012). Finding no error, we affirm.

Oates argues that the district court erroneously applied the kidnapping cross-reference, U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual §§ 2K2.1(c)(1)(A), 2K1.1(a), 2A4.1(a), *173 (b)(3) (2013), in determining the advisory Sentencing Guidelines range. Upon review of the record and careful consideration of the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the district court correctly found that Oates possessed a firearm in connection with the commission of a kidnapping under North Carolina law. The district court thus did not err in applying the kidnapping cross-reference. See United States v. Davis, 679 F.3d 177, 182 (4th Cir. 2012).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED:
