United States Eleventh Circuit

Sentence of 360-months for 27 felony counts arising from unsuccessful attempts to extort money by threatening to bomb various buildings is affirmed over claims of error that the sentence was unreasonable and that district court erred when it: 1) found defendant knowingly and voluntarily consented to represent himself at trial; 2) enhanced defendant's sentence for terrorism, pursuant to U.S.S.G. section 3A1.4; and 3) based the enhancement on its own factual findings.
