Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Adam Michael Miller appeals his convictio n and sentence for possession of a firearm by a felon , in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2) . On appeal, he argues that the district court erred in applying a sentencing enhancement for possessing the firearm in connection with another felony offense in calculating the Sentencing Guidelines

. We affirm.
We review a defendant’s sentence “under a deferential abuse

- of

- discretion standard.” Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 41, 51 (2007). Under this standard, a sentence is reviewed for both pr ocedural and substantive reasonableness. Id. at 51. In determining procedural reasonableness, this c ourt must “ensure that the district court committed no significant procedural error, such as failing to calculate (or improperly calculating) the Guidelines range.” Id. In assessing the application of Guidelines enhancements, we review findings of fact f or clear error and legal conclusions de novo. United States v. Fluker , 891 F.3d 541, 547 (4th Cir. 2018). “[C]lear error exists only when the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been com mitted.” United States v. Slager , 912 F.3d 224, 233 (4th Cir.) (internal quotation marks omitted) , cert. denied , 139 S. Ct. 2769 (2019). “[A] sentencing court may consider uncharged

. . . conduct in determining a sentence, as long as that conduct is prov en by a preponderance of the evidence.” United States v. Grubbs , 585 F.3d 793, 799 (4th Cir. 2009) (citations omitted).
A district court applies a four

- level enhancement in offense level if a defendant “used or possessed any firearm or ammunition in connection with another felony offense.”3 U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2K2.1(b)(6)(B) (2018)

. A firearm is used in connection with another felony offense if it “facilitated, or had the potential of f acilitating, another felony offense.” USSG § 2K2.1 cmt. n.14(A); see USSG § 2K2.1 cmt. n.14(B) (explaining that , in context of drug trafficking offense, when “a firearm is found in close proximity to drugs,” the firearm necessarily “has the potential of f acilitating another felony offense”). “Another felony offense” is defined as “any federal, state, or local offense, other than the explosive or firearms possession or trafficking offense, punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, regardles s of whether a criminal charge was brought, or a conviction obtained.” USSG § 2K2.1 cmt. n.14(C). On appeal, Miller contends that the Government did not prove his involvement in another felony offense by a preponderance of the evidence. We have thoroughl y reviewed the record and find no clear error in the district court’s finding that it was more likely than not, on the entire evidence, that Miller was engaged in drug trafficking and that the firearm “facilitated, or had the potential of facilitating” tha t offense. See USSG § 2K2.1 cmt. n.14( A ). Accordingly , we affirm the district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
