v.
ALEX KIRBY ANDERSON, also known as Gmb Tutru Anderson,
Defendant - Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 5:16-CR-269-1
Before DAVIS, HAYNES and HO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: [*]
Alex Kirby Anderson pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and was sentenced within the advisory guidelines range to 78 months of imprisonment. He appeals that sentence, arguing that in light of Mathis v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2243 (2016), his previous conviction under a Louisiana statute, LA. STAT. 40:966(A)(1), for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, does not qualify as a controlled substance offense under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(b). He therefore contends that the district court erred in applying the enhanced base offense level under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(a)(3).
Because Anderson did not object to the base offense level in the district court, our review is limited to plain error. See Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009). To establish plain error, Anderson must show, among other things, a forfeited error that is clear or obvious. See id. Anderson has not shown that his challenge to the calculation of his base offense level under § 2K2.1(a)(3) is not subject to reasonable dispute. See Puckett, 556 U.S. at 135. Therefore, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
