the high end of the Sentencing Guideline range.
A defendant is a career offender if he is at least 18 years
old at the time of the instant offense; the instant offense is a
felony that is either a crime of violence or a controlled
substance offense; and he has at least two prior felony
convictions of either a crime of violence or a controlled
substance offense. U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. Robbery is a “crime of
violence.” § 4B1.2, comment. (n.2). Boyle’s sentence was not
imposed in violation of the law, as a result of a misapplication
of the Sentencing Guidelines, and is not “plainly unreasonable.”
United States v. DiMarco, 46 F.3d 476, 477 (5th Cir. 1995).
Boyle’s sentence is AFFIRMED.
