Before BYE, RILEY, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Kevin Scott Miller appeals the 77-month prison sentence the district court1
imposed after he pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation
of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He argues only that his prior conviction for driving while
intoxicated should not be considered a crime of violence within the meaning of
U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(a). Acknowledging this court’s previous holding to the contrary,
see United States v. Wells, 469 F.3d 716, 720-21 (8th Cir. 2006), Miller asks us to

      1
        The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
overrule that precedent. This we cannot do. See United States v. Wright, 22 F.3d
787, 788 (8th Cir. 1994) (panel of this court is bound by prior Eighth Circuit decision
unless prior decision is overruled by this court sitting en banc). Accordingly, we
affirm.
