143833P.pdf 05/02/2016 United States v. Terry Dean Iceman
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3833
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Wollman and Loken, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - sentencing. At the time of the offense of strangulation,
the Sentencing Commission had not yet promulgated a corresponding
guideline; the district court's reliance on U.S.S.G. sec. 2A2.3 was
proper, as the underlying facts of the strangulation conviction was
consistent with domestic violence; it was the only guideline containing
the same element of the existence of an intimate relationship between the
attacker and the victim. There was no evidence that district court
sentenced Iceman under Guideline in effect at the time of sentencing and
thus sentence did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause. Thus, the district
committed no error, let alone plain error.
