United States Sixth Circuit

A conviction and sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession with the intent to distribute crack cocaine is affirmed over claims that: 1) the district court erred in denying a motion to dismiss the indictment based on violations of the Speedy Trial Act, the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, and his constitutional speedy trial right; and 2) a waiver of appeal rights contained in his plea agreement was invalid and unenforceable, and that resentencing was required under Booker.
