U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2455
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. In sentencing defendant in this
felon-in-possession case, the district court properly applied an
enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 3C1.1 for obstruction of justice where
defendant attempted to destroy his written confession; however, the
district court erred in applying an enhancement under Guidelines Sec.
3A1.2 for assaulting the office in the struggle over the confession as
defendant's actions did not occur during the course of the offense or
immediate flight.
