221891P.pdf   03/27/2023  United States  v.  Melvin Shields
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1891
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Shepherd and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not err in calculating 
   defendant's base offense level; carjacking is a crime of violence for 
   purposes of Guidelines Sec. 2K2.1(a)(4)(A); conspiracy to commit 
   carjacking is also a crime of violence under Guidelines Sec. 4B1.2, as 
   this court has held that the commentary to that section, which states that 
   a crime of violence includes conspiring to commit such an offense, is 
   valid.
