United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm are affirmed in part where, whether well-founded or not, defendant's doubts about an officer's credibility were not for the court to resolve. However, the judgment is reversed in part where the lack of ad hoc findings in this case violated the principle of individualized fact-finding mandated by Bender.
