United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.

Filed: December 21, 2012.

Paul M. George, Esquire (Argued), McKinney & George, Philadelphia, PA, for Appellant.

OPINION

SLOVITER, Circuit Judge.

Dontey Tucker appeals the sentence imposed by the District Court following his conviction for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (2006). His appeal presents only one question: Whether Tucker's two prior Pennsylvania drug convictions qualify as "serious drug offenses" for purposes of sentencing enhancement under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e) (2006) ("the ACCA").
