U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-2709
and No: 05-3450
District of South Dakota
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Fagg, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. District court did not
abuse its discretion in imposing an upward departure under Guidelines
Sec. 4A1.3 based on its belief that defendant's criminal history category
under-represented the seriousness and extent of his past criminal conduct;
sentence which amounted to a 56% increase over the maximum
guidelines range was not unreasonable or an abuse of the court's
discretion; defendant's supervised release did not expire before
Massachusetts district court transferred jurisdiction to South Dakota, and
the district court had jurisdiction to revoke defendant's supervised
release; challenge to revocation sentence would not be addressed as
district court made the sentence concurrent to defendant's bank fraud
conviction and that disposition complies with defendant's request for
relief.
