121613P.pdf 12/17/2012 United States v. Robert Montgomery
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1613
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Bye and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient
to support defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of a
firearm; district court did not err in classifying defendant's Missouri
conviction for second-degree domestic assault as a violent felony under
the Armed Career Criminal Act as the unobjected-to facts of the
Presentence Report established that the conviction was for violation of
Mo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 565.073.1(1), which qualifies as a violent felony;
sentence was not unreasonable, and the mandatory minimum provision of
the Act does not violate the Eighth Amendment; additional 8 months the
court imposed over the mandatory minimum did not violate the Eighth
Amendment.
