U.S. v. Dennis

Defendant pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute cocaine base and marijuana. During sentencing, the district court enhanced defendant’s sentence based on evidence in the form of a photograph of defendant pointing a firearm at an individual that the prosecution described as an "armed robbery." Defendant challenged the sentence enhancement on appeal and also argued that two of his supervised release conditions were inconsistent with the district court’s pronouncements of the sentence. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding no error in the imposition of the enhancement but the appellate court modified one of the discretionary conditions to reflect the parties’ shared understanding. (SYKES and PRYOR, concurring)
