   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1286
   District of Nebraska   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley and Beam, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. For the court's initial opinion in the case, see United States v. Parks, 364 F.3d 902 (8th Cir. 2004). On remand from the Supreme Court for further consideration under Booker, the court applies Pirani's plain error analysis and concludes defendant is not entitled to Booker relief as he had failed to demonstrate a reasonable probability that the district court would have imposed a lesser sentence under an advisory guidelines scheme. 031286P.pdf 04/14/2004 USA v. Joshua Parks U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 03-1286 District of Nebraska
Criminal case - criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support conspiracy and gun convictions; district court did not err in permitting the introduction of replica weapons as demonstrative aids; discretionary refusal to grant a downward departure is unreviewable. [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author]
