Grossman v. Bruce, No. 05-3155, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, May 5, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In habeas cases, such as a § 2254 matter, errors made by prison officials in denying witness testimony at official hearings were subject to harmless error review. Prison officials erred in denying a request to have a witness testify at a disciplinary hearing, but the error was harmless as the testimony would not have aided the inmate's defense.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant argued that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance in failing to advise him that his rights under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act had been violated, remand was warranted because the district court abused its discretion when it denied his 28 U.S.C.S. § 2255 motion without holding an evidentiary hearing.

View this case - free  

Overview: Appellate court denied an inmate's request for a COA under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2253 where there was no evidence of perjury or the solicitation of perjury by the prosecution, and therefore the inmate failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, specifically his due process rights, on those grounds.

United States v. Walker, No. 05-8007, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, May 5, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant's sequestration motion was granted under Fed. R. Evid. 615, it was not plain error to exclude from the sequestration order two officers who had taken a purported confession from defendant, because defense counsel failed to timely object to the order and the alleged error did not prejudice defendant.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's sentence for bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C.S. § 2113(a) was reversed and remanded because he demonstrated that it was plain error for the court to sentence him under a mandatory application of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines where the district court's earlier desire to grant a downward departure had been reversed and remanded.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's 24-month sentence for possession of cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C.S. § 844 was affirmed because the imposition of a two-level enhancement under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3C1.1 for obstruction of the administration of justice based on defendant's eating of the cocaine prior to his arrest was not error.
