083331P.pdf   10/20/2009  United States  v.  Dantae Bates
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3331
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Riley and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. The word "stolen" as used in Guidelines
   Sec. 2K2.1(b)(4) includes all felonious or wrongful takings with an intent
   to deprive the owner of the rights and benefits of ownership regardless of
   whether or not the theft constitutes common-law larceny; applying this
   definition, the firearm in question was stolen and the district court did not
   err in imposing a two-level increase; sentence was not unreasonable.
