McPherson

MEMORANDUM ***

Defendant-appellant Clevon McPherson appeals his sentence of 51 months imprisonment for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1). McPherson argues that the district court erred in calculating the appropriate sentencing guideline range because it miscalculated the number of criminal history points to be attributed to a previous infraction committed as a juvenile. Pursuant to United States Sentencing Guideline § 4A1.2(d)(2)(A), the district court attributed two criminal history points to McPherson’s nearly two-year detention at the California Youth Authority (“CYA”). Section 4A1.2(d)(2)(A) provides for the addition of two criminal history points “for each adult or juvenile sentence to confinement of at least sixty days.” McPherson contends that the district court erred in applying § 4A1.2(d)(2)(A) because nothing in the record shows that he was actually sentenced to a period of confinement “of at least 60 days.” However, McPherson does not contest the fact that he actually spent nearly two years at the CYA.

The length of the sentence may be proved by the actual sentence served. See United States v. Williams, 891 F.2d 212, 215…
