View this case - free  

Overview: Where an inmate's 28 U.S.C.S. § 455 motion for recusal did not cite a single manifestation, other than rulings in the case, of the trial judge's allegedly biased views, the district court properly denied it. The inmate's motion to dismiss his counsel only listed his reasons for dissatisfaction; the district court did not err in denying the motion.

View this case - free  

Overview: Court of appeals found that district court carefully considered defendant's criminal history, the USSG, and factors listed in 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) before it sentenced defendant to 70 months' imprisonment for unlawfully reentering U.S. after he was deported, in violation of 8 U.S.C.S. § 1326, and it affirmed sentence which district court imposed.

United States v. Hughes, No. 05-3271, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, February 14, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Where district court stated that, but for defendant's head injury, it would have sentenced him at the high end of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual range or even imposed an upward departure, and the district court described its consideration of the 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors, defendant's 15-month sentence for escape was not unreasonable.

United States v. Price, No. 05-5177, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, February 14, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's motion for a reduction of his sentence on drug charges was properly denied because, even if Booker could have been read to be an implicit lowering of his sentencing range, 18 U.S.C.S. § 3582(c)(2) only expressly allowed a reduction where the sentencing commission, not the United States Supreme Court, lowered the range.

Overview: Court of appeals affirmed district court's judgment sentencing defendant who pled guilty to violating 18 U.S.C.S. § 922 and 21 U.S.C.S. § 843 to 168 months' imprisonment because defendant did not object to facts that appeared in a presentence report before she was sentenced and she did not meet her burden of showing plain error on appeal.
