   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1139
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction for aiding and abetting embezzlement from an agency receiving federal funds; once the government carried its burden of establishing a conviction for purposes of calculating criminal history, the burden shifts to defendant to show that the conviction was not constitutionally valid; defendant did not present any evidence in support of his challenge to counting the misdemeanor conviction, and the court did not err in including the conviction in its criminal history calculation.
