United States Ninth Circuit

Unrelated criminal conduct following a guilty plea may be considered in evaluating a defendant's acceptance of responsibility. A sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm is affirmed where, because defendant engaged in continued criminal activity following his conviction, the district court did not err in concluding that he had not demonstrated the acceptance of responsibility necessary to receive a reduced sentence under U.S.S.G. section 3E1.1(a).
