PER CURIAM:

     Gregory Benjamin appeals his 238-month sentence for possession

of a firearm by a convicted felon.            Benjamin asserts that the

district court erred in sentencing him as an armed career criminal

because his 1995 predicate conviction for resisting arrest was

obtained without the benefit of counsel.             We have reviewed the

briefs   and   joint   appendix,   and   we   find   no   reversible   error.

Accordingly, we affirm Benjamin’s sentence for the reasons stated

by the district court.      (J.A. at 101-03).        We dispense with oral

argument, because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.




                                                                   AFFIRMED
