U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-2267
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED][Loken, Chief Judge, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. District court did not err in finding
defendant had constructive possession, and arguably joint actual
possession, of a firearm when he induced a third party to possess a
firearm in connection with defendant's drug offense; possession of the
firearm disqualified defendant from receiving safety-valve possession,
and the district court did not err in denying his motion for safety-valve
relief.
