U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-1961
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to
support defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of a
firearm; under the facts presented, the district court did not err in
excluding evidence that defendant's companion was arrested four months
later and was in the possession of drugs and a handgun; an incorrect
application of the guidelines is harmless error where the district court
specifies that resolution of a particular issue did not affect its
ultimate sentencing decision; sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
