U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1423
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Shepherd and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The meaning of "offense" in 18 U.S.C. Sec.
3553(f)2) is unambiguously limited to the offense of conviction, and the
matter is remanded to the district court for further proceedings on the
question of whether defendant possessed a weapon in connection with the
offense of conviction and was thus ineligible for safety-valve sentencing.
