How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that when the facts of a robbery are undisputed, the imposition of the enhancement is a question of the application of the Guidelines, to be reviewed de novo
- holding that “I have a gun” is sufficient to justify the sen- tencing enhancement because it merely requires a teller to make the reasonable inference that a robber would use the gun he claimed to have if he did not receive the money he demanded
- “[W]hen considered together, Soto’s statements in the note that ‘I have a gun’ and ‘I just want money’ are similar to the example in the guideline commentary.”
- “I have a gun. I just want money. Start with the $100.00. Stay Quiet!!!”
- “I have a gun. I just want money. Start with the $100.00. Stay Quiet!!!”
