Description
Eddie Aubrey McAllister pled guilty to two counts of bank robbery, 18 U.S.C.A. Γ§ 2113(a) (West Supp. 1994). He was sentenced as a career offender to a term of 151 months. United States Sentencing Commission, Guidelines Manual, Γ§ 4B1.1 (Nov. 1992). McAllister appeals his sentence, contending that the district court erroneously believed it lacked the authority to depart downward under guideline sections 5K2.11 (Lesser Harms) and 5K2.12 (Coercion and Duress). He also claims that the district court erred in refusing to depart downward on the ground that career offender status overstated his criminal history. See U.S.S.G. Γ§ 4A1.3. We affirm in part and dismiss in part for the reasons explained below.
