Description
Jimmy Lee Stuckey, Jr., appeals both his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm, and the sentence he received. Stuckey challenges the conviction by claiming the district court erred during jury deliberations when it gave a supplemental instruction that stated a "person who has been convicted of a felony may not knowingly possess a firearm at any time," even though the indictment had charged possession "on or about" a date certain. Stuckey challenges the sentence by claiming that four prior drug convictions stemming from a military court martial should not have been used to enhance his sentence as an armed career criminal. We affirm the conviction, but reverse and remand for resentencing.
