   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2156
                          and No:  395
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and McMillian, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - criminal law. Because Missouri withholds substantial 
   civil rights from convicted felons, defendant had not been restored to 
   sufficient civil rights to invoke the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Sec.  
   921(a)(20) and could be convicted of being a felon in possession of a 
   firearm; defendant's prior drug convictions were "serious drug offenses," 
   and he could be sentenced to the mandatory minimum under 18 U.S.C.  
   Sec. 924(g)(1).
