View this case - free  

Overview: A taxpayer's suit against the government, challenging tax deficiency, was properly dismissed. Pursuant to 26 U.S.C.S. § 3403, taxpayer was required to pay over payroll taxes, and fact that payroll company founder had embezzled tax money did not relieve it of its duty to pay taxes. It could have minimized interest by promptly paying tax deficiency.

Overview: Where claims fell within the purview of 28 U.S.C.S. § 2255 and appellant failed to demonstrate that § 2255 was inadequate or ineffective, the claims could have been presented in a § 2255 motion; raising them in a 28 U.S.C.S. § 2241 petition amounted to nothing more than an attempt to circumvent the gatekeeping provisions of 28 U.S.C.S. § 2255.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's challenge to his within-guidelines 298 month sentence was denied. Preponderance of evidence supported district court's drug quantity and role in conspiracy findings. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual §§ 2D1.1(c)(4), 3B1.1(b), applied, based on those findings. Court also gave meaningful consideration to the 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors.
