                                 ____________

Before GRUENDER, KELLY, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Eliseo Becerra 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). The presentence investigation
report (“PSR”) calculated a base offense level of 20 because Becerra previously had
sustained a conviction that qualified as a crime of violence. See U.S.S.G.
§ 2K2.1(a)(4)(A). After further adjustments, the PSR calculated a total offense level
of 21, a criminal history category of VI, and an advisory sentencing guidelines range
of 77 to 96 months. The district court1 varied downward and sentenced Becerra to
60 months’ imprisonment. Becerra appeals the designation of his Missouri second-
degree robbery conviction as a crime of violence.

       We review de novo the determination that a prior conviction qualifies as a
crime of violence under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(a)(4). United States v. Welch, 

, 326 (8th Cir. 2018) (per curiam). In United States v. Swopes, 

(8th
Cir. 2018) (en banc), petition for cert. filed, --- U.S.L.W. --- (U.S. Aug. 30, 2018)
(No. 18-5838), we held that Missouri second-degree robbery qualifies as a violent
felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act (“ACCA”). Becerra concedes that
Swopes rejected his argument, and in United States v. Young, 720 F. App’x 803 (8th
Cir. 2018) (per curiam), we determined that Swopes foreclosed the argument that
Missouri second-degree robbery does not qualify as a crime of violence under the
sentencing guidelines. See also United States v. Hall, 

, 806 (8th Cir.
2017) (explaining that crime of violence under the guidelines and violent felony
under the ACCA have “nearly identical definitions” and that we view them as
“interchangeable”). Thus, we affirm.
