U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-3587
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. The district court did not
err in admitting evidence of two uncharged bank robberies as the evidence
was admissible to prove identity and the jury was properly instructed on
use of the evidence; district court properly rejected defendant's assertion
that there is a preference in the Guidelines for sentences to run
concurrently to undischarged sentences; district court considered the
relevant circumstances in deciding to make only a portion of defendant's
federal sentences concurrent with an undischarged West Virginia
sentence; sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
