View this case - free  

Overview: A city council did not have to provide written reasons for its denial of a special use permit within 60 days of the application, as required by Minn. Stat. § 15.99, subd. 2(c), because § 15.99, subd. 2(c), only applied where council approved a resolution to deny a permit or a zoning request, not where the council rejected an approval resolution.

Overview: District court did not abuse its discretion in granting upward departure under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 5K2.21(1) based on uncharged conduct, which did not enter into a determination of guidelines range and was almost identical to the charged conduct, including graphic sex discussions with and exhibitionist performances for young girls.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant was convicted of producing and distributing child pornography. While his sentence was outside the presumptively reasonable U.S. Sentencing Guidelines sentencing range, trial court's careful application of 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors and stated justification for 21 percent upward variance convinced the court that sentence was reasonable.

View this case - free  

Overview: Conviction on aggravated sexual abuse and lesser-included offense of abusive sexual contact was affirmed because, inter alia, district court did not err in applying the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2A3.4(c)(1) cross-reference. Acquitted conduct could be used for sentencing purposes if proved by a preponderance of the evidence.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's sentence within the guidelines range for possessing marijuana with intent to distribute was not an abuse of discretion because the district court expressly considered his criminal history and the circumstances of his offense, pursuant to 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a), and nothing in the record rebutted the presumption of reasonableness.
