   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-1129
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley and Lay, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. Applying Pirani's plain error analysis, defendant was 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; district court did not err in departing upward based upon an understatement of defendant's criminal history as the the departure was supported by the sufficient evidence; application of both Guidelines Sec. 4B1.5(a) and Sec. 4A1.3 did not constitute double counting. 041129P.pdf 02/03/2005 USA v. Jeffrey B. Cramer U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-1129 Eastern District of Arkansas
Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. District court did not err in imposing an upward departure under Guidelines Sec. 4A1.3 on the ground defendant's criminal history was substantially underrepresented; under the facts of this case, imposing an enhancement under Sec. 4A1.3 did not unfairly double count when an enhancement under Sec. 4B1.5(a) had already been imposed.
