View this case - free  

Overview: Shepard did not overrule Almendarez-Torres, so defendant was not entitled to jury trial on whether previous conviction used to enhance his sentence pursuant to the Armed Career Criminal Act was a conviction of him or of another person; issue in instant case was whether defendant had been convicted, and district court could resolve that issue.

United States v. Dilworth, No. 03-3764, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, February 6, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant neither invited the court's attention to the reductions received by his co-conspirators nor identified specific factors of 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553 that he wished the court to consider. Consequently, the district court's failure to address that argument did not render its sentencing determination unreasonable.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant was entitled to resentencing in light of Booker because the district court's treatment of the guidelines as defunct was not harmless error, given that the discretionary sentence exceeded the guideline range, and there was no basis to know how the district court would have assessed a sentence had it known the guidelines were advisory.

View this case - free
