United States of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Clarence L. Woolsoncroft Defendant-Appellant


Unpublished

Submitted: June 22 2022

Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Western

Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Clarence Woolsoncroft received a 120-month prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to being a felon and unlawful drug user in possession of firearms and ammunition. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 922(g)(3), 924(a)(2). In an Anders brief, counsel challenges the offense-level calculation. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). A pro se supplemental brief urges us to vacate on the ground that Woolsoncroft believed his civil rights had been restored. See Rehaif v. United States, 139 S.Ct. 2191, 2200 (2019).

We conclude that the district court did not clearly err when it applied the challenged enhancements, see United States v. Turner, 781 F.3d 374, 393 (8th Cir. 2015), nor when it denied an acceptance-of-responsibility reduction, see United States v. Davis, 875 F.3d 869, 875 (8th Cir. 2017). There is also no evidence that his past felony has been "expunged," or that his "civil rights" have been restored. See 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(20)(B); see also United States v. Crumble, 965 F.3d 642, 645 (8th Cir. 2020).

The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.

Finally, we have independently reviewed the record and conclude that no other non-frivolous issues exist. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82-83 (1988). We accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court and grant counsel permission to withdraw.
