United States Second Circuit

Conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm and enhancement of sentence because of a pre-arranged obstruction of justice is affirmed over claims that sentence was improperly enhanced where: 1) prior convictions should have been disregarded because defendant was a "youthful offender"; and 2) the court erroneously found certain acts constituted an obstruction of justice within the meaning of Sentencing Guidelines section 3C1.1.
