151161P.pdf 07/01/2016 United States v. Quentin Tidwell
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1161
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. After vacating a sentence in a Section 2255
proceeding, when calculating criminal history points for resentencing, a
district court may consider a conviction imposed after the original
vacated sentence as a prior sentence under Guidelines Sec. 4A1.2(a)(1);
here, the conduct underlying the conviction imposed after the original
vacated sentence was not relevant conduct for sentencing purposes as the
conduct in the later case involved different drugs and a time gap. Judge
Kelly, dissenting.
