Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 141-month term of incarceration on drug conviction where Dist. Ct. found that defendant was career offender based in part on existence of prior Ill. state conviction on charge of unlawful restraint. Under Wallace, 326 F3d 881, Dist. Ct. could properly sentence defendant as career offender since Ill. conviction on charge of unlawful restraint qualified as crime of violence under section 4B1.2 of USSG.
