United States v. Alexander, Nos. 05-1542, 05-1632, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT, February 9, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Although district court erred in labeling a defendant's prior conviction for carrying a concealed weapon a "violent felony" under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C.S. § 924, the error was not plain. The determination of whether carrying a concealed weapon was a "violent felony" for purposes of the Act was one where the circuits were divided.

View this case - free  

Overview: Although district court used different offenses to find that inmate had three prior felonies, inmate's sentencing guidelines were properly calculated.
