HELENE N. WHITE, Circuit Judge. Defendant-Appellant Davon Tooley appeals his sentence for possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, arguing that the district court incorrectly counted his prior Kentucky conviction for second-degree manslaughter as a crime of violence under the Sentencing Guidelines.
