United States v. Robert E. Blomberg

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 98-3538 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the District * of Minnesota.

Robert Earl Blomberg, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: March 11, 1999 Filed: June 1, 1999 ___________ Before BEAM and HEANEY, Circuit Judges, and FENNER1, District Judge. ___________ PER CURIAM.

After a bench trial on stipulated facts, Robert Earl Blomberg was convicted of nine counts of possession of a firearm after conviction for a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9). He was sentenced to twenty-four months' imprisonment and three years of supervised release.

Blomberg appeals his conviction and sentence, arguing that the district court2 erred in: (1) ruling that specific intent was not an element of the offense, and that advice of counsel was not a defense; (2) finding that he did not qualify for the "sporting use" sentence adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(2); and (3) declining to apply an acceptance of responsibility adjustment to his sentence under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1.

Having carefully reviewed the parties' arguments and submissions, we find no error of law or fact. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
