N.D. Ind., S. Bend Div.

Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 72-month term of incarceration on illegal possession of firearm charge based in part on fact that defendant had prior conviction on Indiana charge of dealing in substance represented to be controlled substance. Dist. Ct. could properly conclude that said look-alike drug offense qualified as controlled-substance offense for purpose of sentencing defendant on instant firearms conviction.
