U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-2413
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Loken and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. In this prosecution for being
a felon in possession, even if the district court erred under Rule 404(b)
in admitting evidence of defendant' prior felony firearm conviction, the
error was harmless in light of the limiting instruction which was given,
the minor part the evidence played in the government's case and closing,
and the ample evidence of defendant's guilt; the district court adequately
weighed the 3553(a) factors and explained its sentencing decision;
defendant's within-guideline-range sentence was not substantively
unreasonable
