Case Information
*1 BEFORE: CLAY, COOK, and WHITE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. Kedrick Clark pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 921(a), and 924(a)(2). PSR at 3. At sentencing, Clark objected to the PSR’s base offense-level calculation on the ground that his prior conviction under Michigan’s felonious assault statute, Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 750.82, was not a conviction of a “crime of violence” under USSG § 4B1.2(a)(1). PID 235/Sentencing Hr’g. Clark also objected to the PSR’s adding a criminal-history point for a marijuana-related civil infraction under Grand Rapids City Charter, tit. XVIII, § 292. PID 235, 237-39. The Government agreed with Clark that his admission of responsibility for a civil infraction is not a “prior sentence imposed upon an adjudication of guilt by guilty plea, trial, or plea of nolo contendere” as required by USSG § 4A1.2(a)(1) and should not be scored a criminal-history point. PID 241-44. The district court overruled Clark’s objections and imposed a bottom-of-the- guidelines 57-month sentence. The court stated that had it not scored the point, the Guidelines *2 No. 17-1088

range and sentence would have been different. PID 254. We AFFIRM the district court’s base offense-level calculation, VACATE the district court’s criminal-history scoring, and REMAND for resentencing.
Clark acknowledges that United States v. Harris , 853 F.3d 318, 321 (6th Cir. 2017), decided during the pendency of this appeal, held that Michigan felonious assault, Mich. Comp. Laws § 750.82, [1] has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against another, and thus constitutes a crime of violence. Applying Harris , we affirm the district court’s base-offense-level scoring of 20 under USSG §§ 2K2.1(a)(4)(A) and 4B1.2(a)(1).
The Government concedes error in the district court’s scoring a criminal history point for the civil infraction. Given the district court’s candid acknowledgment that the scoring affected the sentence, resentencing is required.
We therefore affirm the district court’s base offense-level calculation under Harris , 853 F.3d at 321, vacate the scoring of Clark’s criminal-history category, and remand for Clark to be resentenced without scoring an additional criminal-history point for the civil infraction.
[1] Under Michigan law, “a person who assaults another person with a gun, revolver, pistol, knife, iron bar, club, brass knuckles, or other dangerous weapon without intending to commit murder or to inflict great bodily harm less than murder is guilty of a felony . . .” Mich.
