Does section 4B11.1 of the Guidelines for Criminal Proceeds of Crime apply to a convicted felon in possession of a firearm?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Contreras, 972 F.2d 1344 (9th Cir. 1992):
On November 1, 1989, however, section 4B1.1 of the Guidelines was amended. In United States v. Sahakian, No. 91-10199, slip. op. at 5975 (9th Cir. May 26, 1992), we interpreted the revised section. We concluded that the "conviction of being a felon in possession is not a conviction of a crime of violence under the 1989 amendment." Id. at 5980.
