United States v. Jackar Love
United States v. Jackar Love
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Jackar Love appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 42-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). We have jurisdiction under '28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Love contends that the district court improperly determined that his prior robbery conviction under California Penal Code § 211 was a “crime of violence” under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(a)(4)(A) (2015) and, therefore, improperly determined his base offense level. This claim fails. Love necessarily committed either generic robbery or generic extortion, see United States v. Becerril-Lopez, 541 F.3d 881, 892 (9th Cir. 2008), both of which are enumerated crimes of violence. See U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2 cmt. n.l (2015). Accordingly, his conviction is a categorical crime of violence. See Becerril-Lopez, 541 F.3d at 893 & n.10; see also U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1 cmt. n.l (2015) (defining “crime of violence” as having the meaning given that term in section 4B1.2 and its Application Note 1). Contrary to Love’s contention, the Supreme Court’s holding in Johnson v. United States, — U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015), had no effect on the Guidelines. See Beckles v. United States, — U.S. -, 137 S.Ct. 886, 895, 197 L.Ed.2d 145 (2017).
AFFIRMED.
