Before MELLOY, GRUENDER and BENTON, Circuit Judges.

Cardrick D. Flowers was charged in Arkansas state court with aggravated robbery, theft of property, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. A jury found Flowers guilty of all three charges, and the trial court sentenced him to an aggregate term of 480 months’ imprisonment.

For the following reasons, we affirm.
