|||||
Overview: Having found that the IJ's negative credibility assessment was not improper, court denied the alien's petition for review of denial of asylum. The IJ was not saying that farmers in principle could not be persecuted--he just doubted that a group of Muslim radicals would waste their time chasing a person like the alien all the way across the country.

Overview: A sentencing appeal was denied. Court had previously rejected ex post facto challenge arising from Booker. Defendant's U.S. Const. amend.

|||||
Overview: Defendant's appeal was dismissed.

|||||
Overview: Defendant's conviction for possession of a gun by felon, a violation of 18 U.S.C.S. § 922(g)(1), was affirmed. When defendant claimed that gun belonged to his girlfriend, evidence of a prior incident in which he made the same claim was admissible under F. R. Evid. 404(b) to show the unlikelihood of a mistake happening twice in a short span of time.
