U.S. v. Lamon

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 84-month term of incarceration on drug distribution, possession of firearm in furtherance of drug distribution and felon in possession of firearm charges, even though Dist. Ct. did not group together defendant’s drug distribution and felon in possession of firearm charges for purposes of sentencing. Ct. in Sinclair, 770 F.3d 1148, specifically precluded Dist. Ct. from grouping said offenses because felon in possession charge had no impact on guideline range for drug distribution charge, and defendant otherwise failed to provide any convincing argument to overrule Sinclair. Ct. also rejected defendant’s contention that Sinclair was implicitly overturned in Cherry, 855 F.3d 813.
