U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-1284
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Erickson and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. The evidence was sufficient
to support defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of a
firearm; the court properly left to the jury the question of whether the
firearm had traveled in interstate commerce, and the evidence was
sufficient to support the jury's verdict that it had; with respect to
defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of ammunition, the
evidence was sufficient to support the jury's verdict; defendant's
within-guidelines range sentence was substantively reasonable; defendant
possessed and used the firearm and ammunition in a single incident of
possession, and the counts were multiplicitous; the proper remedy in these
circumstances is to remand with directions to vacate one of the
convictions; a full resentencing or new trial are not required.
