Sixth Circuit back in action with three sentencing rulings
Coming back strong after a long weekend, the Sixth Circuit today has handed down three opinions that all have significant sentencing discussions. A very quick read of these three opinions suggests that none breaks significant new ground, but all three are worthy of attention for their continued elaboration of post-Booker and post-Gall appellate review realities:
- US v. Smith, No. 06-1218 (6th Cir. Feb. 19, 2008) (available here) (affirming above-guideline sentence in fraud case)
- US v. Phillips, No. 06-6191 (6th Cir. Feb. 19, 2008) (available here) (affirming within-guideline sentence in gun case)
- US v. Wheaton, No. 06-4080 (6th Cir. Feb. 19, 2008) (available here) (affirming within-guideline sentence in drug case)
