Plaintiff—Appellee,

versus

Tony Burdette,

Defendant—Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:22-CR-79-1

Before Stewart, Graves, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: * Tony Burdette pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of a firearm after a felony conviction and one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. He was sentenced to three consecutive terms of 100 months of imprisonment.

In his sole issue on appeal, Burdette argues that the district court erroneously enhanced his offense level under U.S.S.G. § 3A1.2(c)(1) based on his assault of a police officer because that assault did not occur during the course of his offenses of conviction or his immediate flight therefrom. Even if we assume without deciding that the district court erred, the Government has convincingly demonstrated that the claimed error was harmless. See United States v. Redmond, 965 F.3d 416, 420-22 (5th Cir. 2020); United States v. Castro-Alfonso, 841 F.3d 292, 298 (5th Cir. 2016). AFFIRMED.
