Affirmed

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 15-year minimum sentence on unlawful possession of firearm charge, after finding that defendant was eligible for treatment under Armed Career Criminal Act, based on defendant’s prior Indiana robbery convictions. Indiana’s robbery statute included as element “use, attempted use of threatened use of physical force against person of another,” and thus qualified as violent felony under elements clause of Armed Career Criminal Act.
