United States Seventh Circuit

In defendant's third appeal of his sentence from his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and obstruction crimes, imposition of a 210-month sentence is affirmed as the sentence is reasonable and, although there was confusion in the second hearing about the district court's reliance on a finding that defendant would have attempted murder had he not been incarcerated, the district court cleared up that issue at the third sentencing hearing by explicitly stating that it was not relying on that finding.
