   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-3170
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The evidence was sufficient 
   to support defendant's convictions for being an unlawful user of a 
   controlled substance in possession of a firearm; the government showed 
   defendant was actively engaged in the use of marijuana during the time he 
   possessed firearms in 2013 and 2016, thereby satisfying the requisite 
   temporal nexus between gun possession and regular drug use required under 
   18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g)(3); the government also showed defendant knew he was 
   an unlawful user at the time of each offense; the district court properly 
   merged two counts arising out of a single incident and correctly orally 
   sentenced defendant to a single term of supervised release; however, the 
   written judgment imposed two terms of supervised release, and this 
   additional term of supervised release is vacated and the matter is 
   remanded to permit the court to amend the written judgment to conform with 
   the oral pronouncement of sentence; defendant's sentence was not 
   substantively unreasonable.
