CURIAM: Claude Percy Sales appeals from his 180-month sentence imposed pursuant to his guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. On appeal, he asserts that his sentence should not have been enhanced under the Armed Career Criminal Act (“ACCA”) because (1) such an enhancement violated United States v.

As Sales admits, his claim that the application of the ACCA violated the principles of Booker is foreclosed by circuit precedent. See United States v.
