UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Adolfo Alberto MARIN-CUEVAS, AKA Jesus Marin-Cuevas, Defendant-Appellant

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that failing to include the actual records in the report does not disqualify the criminal behavior from counting in the criminal history review
• upholding enhancement where the probation officer who prepared the PSR “obtained his information from a reliable source,” namely, “the computerized criminal history”
• A “reviewing court should affirm the district court’s factual determination unless the district court clearly erred.”
• any information may be considered at sentencing “so long as it has ‘sufficient indicia of reliability to support its probable accuracy’”
• 'Because Marin-Cuevas neither objected to the jury instructions at trial nor offered a limiting instruction, the standard of review is plain error'
• “Because the only evidence 1324 UNITED STATES v. SNIPE before the sentencing court was the Presentence Report, the preponderance of the evidence sustains the district court’s finding.”
