Before SMITH, Chief Judge, KELLY and KOBES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Quentin R. Herndon pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm,
in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2).1 At sentencing, the district

      1
      We note that the written judgment reflects a clerical error. Specifically, the
judgment describes the conviction as arising under § 924(e)(1). But the record
court2 determined that Herndon’s 1997 Missouri conviction for resisting arrest
qualified as a “crime of violence,” and as a result, it calculated a base offense level
of 20 under United States Sentencing Guidelines § 2K2.1(a)(4)(A) (2016) and a
recommended Guidelines range of 77 to 96 months. Herndon appeals his 78-month
sentence, contending that the district court erred in calculating his base offense level.

       We review de novo whether a prior conviction qualifies as a crime of violence.
See United States v. Rice, 

, 705 (8th Cir. 2016). The Guidelines define
a crime of violence as “any offense under federal or state law, punishable by
imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, that . . . has as an element the use,
attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another,”
among other things. § 4B1.2(a). We often refer to this aspect of the definition as the
force clause. See United States v. Boose, 

, 1186 (8th Cir. 2014). To
determine whether Herndon’s prior conviction is a crime of violence, we look “to the
elements of the offense as defined in the statute of conviction rather than to the facts
underlying the defendant’s prior conviction.” Rice, 831 F.3d at 705 (cleaned up).

     Herndon was convicted in Missouri state court of resisting arrest in violation
of Mo. Rev. Stat. § 575.150.1(1), which provides,

      A person commits the crime of resisting or interfering with arrest if . . .
      the person . . . [r]esists the arrest . . . by using or threatening the use of
      violence or physical force or by fleeing from such officer . . . .


reflects that Herndon was indicted under § 924(a)(2), Herndon pleaded guilty to
§ 924(a)(2), the parties and the district court agreed that § 924(e)(1)’s statutory
enhancement did not apply to Herndon, and the district court sentenced Herndon to
a term of imprisonment consistent with § 924(a)(2). Therefore, we modify the written
judgment to reflect that the conviction arises under § 924(a)(2).
      2
      The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Court Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.

In United States v. Shockley, 

 (8th Cir. 2016), we explained that this
statute “includes conduct that falls under the . . . force clause, such as resisting arrest
. . . ‘by using or threatening the use of violence or physical force,’ [but it] also defines
the offense to include fleeing from an officer,” which does not fall under the force
clause.3 Id. at 1063.

       Herndon does not argue that § 575.150.1(1) is indivisible in light of Mathis v.
United States, 

 (2016), which was decided after Shockley, and he
concedes that he was convicted under the use-of-force portion of the statute. His sole
argument on appeal is that Shockley’s treatment of that portion of the statute is dicta
that this panel is not bound to follow because Shockley remanded the case to the
district court to determine which portion of the statute the defendant’s prior
conviction fell under. See id. at 1063–64.

       Herndon’s argument is not persuasive. The conclusion that the use-of-force
portion of the statute satisfies the force clause was necessary to Shockley’s holding,
as remand would not have been necessary if it were impossible for any conviction
under § 575.150.1(1) to satisfy the force clause. Herndon gives us no reason to
question the district court’s determination that his prior conviction for resisting arrest
qualifies as a crime of violence.

       Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed as modified.

       Shockley analyzed the Armed Career Criminal Act’s force clause, which is
interchangeable with the Guidelines’ force clause. See United States v. Vincent, 

, 826 (8th Cir. 2009).
