Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and FLAUM and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing Guidelines – Enhancement

Defendants Andrew Shelton, Frederick Lewis, Patrick Edwards, and Terry Walker raise several sentencing challenges. First, all defendants argue the district court improperly imposed multiple offense-level enhancements under U.S.S.G. § 2K2. in violation of double counting principles. Second, Shelton challenges the court’s application of three criminal history points for a prior burglary conviction. Third, Lewis argues the court erred by imposing a three-year term of supervised release without separately addressing the § 3553(a) factors. We affirm.
