092154P.pdf   08/25/2010  United States  v.  Dennis Dinwiddie
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2154
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and John
   R. Gibson, Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Defendant Dinwiddie
   consented to a search of a person, and the packing slip found in his
   pocket was admissible; evidence was sufficient to support defendants'
   convictions for interstate travel in aid of a racketeering enterprise;
   evidence was sufficient to support James's conviction for engaging in a
   drug conspiracy resulting in murder; various evidentiary challenges
   rejected; no error in sentencing defendants to an additional mandatory
   term under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1924(c)(1) for use of firearms in connection
   with drug trafficking; any error in sentencing defendant Dinwiddie as an
   armed career criminal was harmless as his guidelines range was life
   imprisonment regardless of his criminal history.
