Text: A jury convicted David Young of being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). 1 The district court sentenced Young to a term of imprisonment of seventy-six months, a sentence within the range set out in the advisory Sentencing Guidelines. On appeal to this court, Young challenges both his conviction and sentence. As to his conviction, Young asserts the district court erred in admitting at trial a tape recording of a telephone conversation he had with his sister on December 25, 2008. As to his sentence, Young asserts the following three errors: (1) improperly enhancing his offense level four levels pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(6); (2) improperly enhancing his offense level two levels pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1; and (3) refusing to vary downward from the range set out in the advisory Sentencing Guidelines. This court exercises jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a) and 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and affirms the district court’s judgment.
