U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1795
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Gruender, Circuit Judge, and Gritzner,
District Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. There was a factual basis for
defendant's plea for violating 18 U.S.C. Sec. 666, and the district court
did not err in refusing to permit him to withdraw his guilty plea; upward
variance did not reflect double-counting where the court determined that
defendant's actions in taking a bribe to make a ruling in a particular
case set his crime apart and made it significantly worse that the usual
one to which Guidelines Sec. 2C1.1(b)(3) applies.
