United States Seventh Circuit
US v. Nance, 09-3786
Defendant's 180-month sentence for receiving child pornography is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err in calculating defendant's criminal history score using his conviction that had been considered as part of a pattern of activity involving the sexual exploitation of a minor under section 2G2.2(b)(5), as note 3 to section 2G2.2 creates an exception to the general rule that relevant conduct may not be considered when computing a defendant's criminal history score; 2) the district court did not err in finding that non-victim materials defendant possessed at the time he received the victim materials were relevant conduct; and 3) the sentence was both procedurally sound and substantively reasonable.
