U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 03-2242
District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judge, and
Hovland, District Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. For the court's earlier opinion
in the case, see U.S. v. Wingate, 369 F.3d 1028 (8th Cir. 2004). On
remand from the Supreme Court for further consideration in light of
Booker, the court applies Pirani's plain error analysis, and concludes
defendant is not entitled to Booker relief as the record does not
demonstrate a reasonable probability that the district court would have
imposed a lesser sentence under an advisory guidelines scheme.; sentence
was not unreasonable under the factors set out in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3553(a).

U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 03-2242
District of Minnesota
Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. Violent Crime Control and Law
Enforcement Act of 1994 did not prohibit the enhancement of sentences
of those persons age 18 to 20, and the Sentencing Commission did not
exceed its authority in adopting Section 34B1.4, which provides that an
enhancement may be imposed if a person 18 or older uses a person under
the age of 18 to commit the offense; record supported the finding
defendant used two minors to assist in the commission of the offense, and
the district court did not err in imposing the enhancement.
