Sentence of 188 months’ imprisonment on a defendant as a career offender for possessing with intent to distribute cocaine base is affirmed where: 1) defendant was sentenced properly as a career offender as criminal trespass to a dwelling is a crime of violence; and 2) defendant, as a career offender, is not entitled to a sentencing remand because career offenders’ base offense levels track the statutory maximums of their convictions.
