                                ____________

Before KELLY, MELLOY, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Arinthius Johnson received a below-Guidelines-range, 96-month prison
sentence after pleading guilty to possessing a firearm as a felon. 18 U.S.C.
§§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2). On appeal, he argues that the district court 1 erroneously

      1
       The Honorable E. Richard Webber, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
                                  -1-
counted his prior Missouri conviction of unlawful use of a weapon as a “crime of
violence,” which increased his base offense level under the Sentencing Guidelines.
See U.S.S.G. §§ 2K2.1(a)(2), 4B1.2(a); see also Mo. Rev. Stat. § 571.030.1(4). We
considered and rejected this argument in United States v. Hudson, 851 F.3d 807 (8th
Cir. 2017). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
