No. 87-1141.

823 F.2d 177 (1987)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Willie GRIER, III, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided June 29, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael Fuiten, Springfield, Ill., for defendant-appellant.

Gregory K. Harris, Asst. U.S. Atty., Springfield, Ill., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before CUMMINGS, FLAUM, and EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Willie Grier was convicted by a jury of one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1202(a)(1). Section 1202(a)(1) carries a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment. The district court found Grier to be a dangerous special offender within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3575, however, and sentenced him to twenty years in prison. Grier challenges both his conviction and the twenty-year sentence.
