161795P.pdf   07/03/2017  United States  v.  Michael Maggio
   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.
