                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Middle District of Florida
                        _________________________

                               (September 29, 2011)

Before CARNES, WILSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Lee Curtis Robinson, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the dismissal of his

pro se 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate his sentence.
      In his § 2255 motion, Robinson contended that it was error for the district

court to have considered him a career offender for sentencing purposes. To be

considered a career offender, a defendant must have had “at least two prior felony

convictions of either a crime of violence or a controlled substance offense.”

U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1(a). Robinson conceded that one of his prior convictions on

which the district court had previously relied qualified as a predicate felony offense

under § 4B1.1(a), but argued that his other four prior convictions no longer

qualified as “crime[s] of violence.” See U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a). One of the

convictions that Robinson challenged was a conviction for resisting arrest with

violence under Florida Statute 843.01.

      We have recently held, however, that a prior conviction for resisting arrest

with violence under Florida Statute 843.01 is categorically a “violent felony” under

the Armed Career Criminal Act. United States v. Nix, 

, 1342 (11th

Cir. 2010). We have also held that because the definitions of “violent felony”

under ACCA and “crime of violence” under § 4B1.2(a) are virtually identical, we

consider cases interpreting one as authority in cases interpreting the other. United

States v. Alexander, 

, 1253 (11th Cir.2010). Robinson’s prior

conviction under Florida law for resisting arrest with violence is thus a “crime of

violence” under § 4B1.2(a)(2). Because Robinson still has at least two qualifying



                                          2
prior convictions under § 4B1.1(a), the district court did not err in denying his §

2255 motion.

      AFFIRMED.
