Description

Appellant Jean Claude Simon appeals his sentence for illegally reentering the United States after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. Â§ 1326(a). Appellant asserts that the district court erred in imposing a 16-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. Â§ 2L1.2(b)(1)(A) (1997). He contends that the term "aggravated felony" as used in that section does not include his prior Florida felony conviction for possessing cocaine. We review the district courts interpretation of the Sentencing Guidelines de novo. United States v. Bozza, 132 F.3d 659, 661 (11th Cir.1998).
