UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, June 28, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: District court did not err by applying the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C.S. § 924, to defendant's prior felonies, including two robberies that occurred on the same day. The robberies were considered two separate offenses for purposes of the ACCA because they involved different victims, different stores, and different weapons.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, June 28, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |

Overview: Defendant's conviction for filing false tax return was affirmed because it was undisputed that defendant, a full-time police officer who had a part-time job working security at a "gentlemen's club," received cash in payment for his work at the club and did not report it as income on his tax returns and he had no conceivable defense to the charge.

Overview: Defendant's 21 U.S.C.S. §§ 841, 846, convictions and his within-guidelines 262 month sentence were affirmed on appeal.

| United States v. Vega, No. 06-4089,
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, June 28, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: The appellate court agreed with defendant's attorney that any challenge to the reasonableness of the new, lower prison sentence was frivolous because the district judge listened to defendant's arguments, adequately explained defendant's within-range sentence, and gave meaningful consideration to the 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors.

|||||
| United States v. Petty, No. 06-4394,
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, June 29, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Where defendant did not contest that he violated the terms of his supervised release, and where the court in imposing a return prison term considered both the sentencing guidelines and the factors under 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a), there were no non-frivolous grounds for appeal. Defendant's appointed counsel was thus permitted to withdraw.
