Overview: Decision affirming dismissal of prisoner's 42 U.S.C.S. § 1983 claim against prison officials pursuant to 42 U.S.C.S. § 1997e was vacated and remanded because, following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Jones v. Bock, prison officials had the burden to show as an affirmative defense that the prisoner did not exhaust his administrative remedies.

Overview: Defendant's appeal from sentence imposed after his plea to mail fraud under 18 U.S.C.S. § 1341, which claimed that error in calculating losses to victims resulted in excessive sentence, was dismissed because the appeal fell within the scope of defendant's appellate waiver, and the district court did not clearly err in calculating the actual losses.

View this case - free  

Overview: Admission of testimony concerning the existence of a bayonet did not require the court to grant a mistrial since the testimony did not impair defendant's right to a fair and impartial trial where there was sufficient evidence to find that he possessed the pistol, and that he was guilty of being a felon in possession, regardless of the testimony.

United States v. Traxler, No. 05-2370, No. 06-2179, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, March 1, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's sentence on drug-related charge was proper because sentencing judge's reference to the Apostle Paul did not impermissibly inject religion into the sentencing process or violate defendant's due process rights protected by the Fifth Amendment. The judge's personal religious views were not a factor in sentence at the bottom of USSG range.
