171632P.pdf 08/13/2018 United States v. Ramone Williams
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-1632
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Beam and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Defendant's New York conviction for attempted
second-degree robbery was a crime of violence under the force clause of
Guidelines Sec. 4B1.2(a); in any event, any error in the matter was
harmless as the district court considered the 3553(a) factors and stated
it would have imposed the same sentence regardless of its ruling on the
crime of violence issue; the district court did not err in imposing three
criminal history points for the offense based on its determination this
was an adult conviction; as stated before, any error in so concluding was
harmless in light of the court's 3553(a) analysis and sentencing
statements; any error in using the 2015 rather than the 2016 Sentencing
Guidelines Manual was harmless as the relevant provisions were identical
in the two versions.
