U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-1576
Southern District of Iowa
[PUBLISHED] [M. Arnold, Author, with Bowman and Riley, Circuit
Judges
Criminal case - criminal law. Federal firearms license does not support
an estoppel-by-entrapment defense, as a viable defense can only rest upon
an affirmative misrepresentation, and the form does not contain any
affirmative misrepresentation; District court did not err in applying
Guidelines Sec. 2K2.1(a)(4)(B); applying Pirani's plain error analysis,
defendant was not entitled to Booker relief because he did not
demonstrate that there was a reasonable probability that the district court
would have imposed a lesser sentence under an advisory guidelines
scheme.
