091440P.pdf   02/10/2010  United States  v.  Julian Allmon
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1440
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Riley, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Defendant failed to show that his testimony could subject him to criminal prosecution as he had already provided the testimony in another federal prosecution and he failed to establish any change in circumstances that would justify a refusal to testify in the subsequent prosecution; Fifth Amendment does not confer a right to refuse to testify when the witness's fear of perjury arises out of his current refusal to testify truthfully and thus risk committing perjury at the present proceeding; finding of criminal contempt is affirmed; application of Guidelines Sec. 2J1.2 as the analogous guideline under Sec. 2X5.1 was appropriate.
