Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Ricky HUNTLEY, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 14-5097.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
July 7, 2014.
Before: MOORE, SUTTON, and ALARCÓN, Circuit Judges.
The Honorable Arthur L. Alarcon, Senior Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, sitting by designation.

Opinion:
SUTTON, Circuit Judge.
Ricky Huntley pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. The district court calculated his Sentencing Guidelines range based on his two previous felony convictions for crimes of violence. Huntley appeals, arguing that one of those convictions — under Tennessee's robbery statute, Tenn.Code Ann. § 39-13-401— was not for a crime of violence. But we have already held that very statute to be a crime of violence under the Armed Career Criminal Act, United States v. Mitchell, 743 F.3d 1054 (6th Cir.2014), and we interpret the Sentencing Guidelines the same way, United States v. Ford, 560 F.3d 420, 421 (6th Cir.2009). Huntley concedes Mitchell's controlling force and has appealed solely to preserve the issue. See App't Br. at 36. We therefore hold that Tennes see's robbery statute is a crime of violence under the Sentencing Guidelines too.
We affirm.
