RAYMOND SNEED
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:07-CR-150-1
Before GARZA, STEWART and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Raymond Sneed appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea
conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Sneed argues that the
district court erred by determining that he was an armed career criminal under
the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e). Sneed maintains
that neither his prior Texas conviction for evading arrest or detention using a

vehicle nor his prior Texas conviction for assault on a public servant qualify as
violent felony convictions under the ACCA.
As Sneed acknowledges, his prior convictions for robbery and aggravated
assault counted as two violent felony convictions under the ACCA. See United
States v. Davis, 487 F.3d 282, 287 (5th Cir. 2007); United States v. Martinez, 962
F.2d 1161, 1168-69 (5th Cir. 1992). Sneed’s prior conviction for evading arrest
or detention using a vehicle is also a violent felony conviction under the ACCA.
See United States v. Harrimon, __ F.3d __, No. 08-10690, 2009 WL 1332088 at
*1-*5 (5th Cir. May 14, 2009). Accordingly, Sneed has three prior violent felony
convictions, and the district court did not err by determining that Sneed was an
armed career criminal under the ACCA. See § 924(e)(1). We do not reach
Sneed’s argument that his prior conviction for assault on a public servant did not
qualify as a violent felony conviction under the ACCA.
AFFIRMED.
