United States Eighth Circuit
US v. Nelson, 09-1305
Defendant's sentence for wire fraud and being a felon in possession of a handgun is affirmed where defendant's prior expunged Arkansas conviction still counted in the computation of his criminal history under the Sentencing Guidelines because it was not expunged due to constitutional invalidity, innocence, or a mistake of law, as required under the Guidelines.
