How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that developing a basic website does not require \special skills\ as established in Petersen
  • holding that the defendant’s computer skills were not a special skill because, inter alia, they did not rise to the level of sophistication of the defendant’s special skills in Petersen, supra
  • \[T]his adjustment becomes open-ended to the point of meaninglessness if the phrase 'special skill' is taken out of its context.\
  • “[T]his sentencing guideline is best read[] as a two-part test. The test is not just whether the skill is ‘not possessed by members of the general public,’ but also, as a sine qua non, whether it is a skill ‘usually requiring substantial education, training, or licensing.’” (citation omitted)
