OPINION
_________________________

DAVIS, Circuit Judge. Fred Golson, Jr., pleaded guilty to two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). Based on an offense level of 17 and a criminal history category of VI, Golson’s Sentencing Guidelines range was 51 to 63 months’ imprisonment. In calculating Golson’s Guidelines range, the district court added a two-level enhancement because it found that Golson’s flight from law enforcement during one of the underlying incidents amounted to reckless endangerment pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3C1.2. The court ultimately sentenced Golson to 56 months’ imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and a $200 special assessment. Golson challenges the imposition of his sentence on procedural reasonableness grounds. Specifically, he maintains that the district court erred in applying the two-level enhancement because he was not the driver of the vehicle at the time of the incident. Because the undisputed facts of the case create a reasonable inference that Golson was an active participant in the reckless flight from police, we AFFIRM.
