MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 18-15190
Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. Nos. 4:16-cv-03392-JSW
4:04-cr-00030-JSW
v.
ARTHUR EDWARD BLACKSHER, Jr., MEMORANDUM*
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California
Jeffrey S. White, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted November 27, 2018**
Before: CANBY, TASHIMA, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.
Arthur Edward Blacksher, Jr., appeals from the district court’s judgment
denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate. We have jurisdiction under 28
U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Blacksher contends that his armed bank robbery conviction under 18 U.S.C.
§ 2113(a), (d) does not qualify as a predicate crime of violence under U.S.S.G.
§ 4B1.1. This argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Watson, 881 F.3d 782
(9th Cir.), cert. denied, 139 S. Ct. 203 (2018). Compare 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3)(A)
with U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a)(1).
AFFIRMED.
