View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's auto burglary offense was not a qualifying prior conviction punishable by a term exceeding one year for purposes of 18 U.S.C.S. § 922(g)(1) because, under Kansas law applicable on the date of sentence, the earliest date a conviction could have been considered final, the term was limited to the nine-month maximum presumptive sentence.

United States v. Galarza-Payan, No. 05-2108, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, March 20, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Although the district court referenced the U.S.S.G.'s departure language in evaluating defendant's sentence, the record plainly showed it considered the relevant 18 U.S.C.S. 3553(a) factors in reaching its conclusions as to an appropriate sentence. Thus, there was no error in the court's consideration of the relevant factors for sentencing.
