132072P.pdf   05/01/2014  United States  v.  Harold Melbie, Jr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2072
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - sentence. District court correctly determined that a prior 
   drug conspiracy conviction and a prior possession-with-intent-to-deliver 
   conviction were separate qualifying predicate offenses for application of 
   armed career criminal statute. Although the possession charge occurred at 
   the end of the conspiracy period, it was a punctuated occurrence with a 
   limited duration, and under United States v. Johnston, it was a separate 
   predicate offense.
