United States v. Michael Bliss

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion by ruling without further inquiry where the court had been apprised of the reasons for the defendant’s request for new counsel
• finding that where conduct constituted little more than “disappearing to avoid arrest” enhancement was not justified
• “[W]e believe that [the defendant’s] flight itself is insufficient to support the district court’s application of the enhancement. We therefore look for other ‘obstructive conduct’ that, ‘coupled with’ his flight, might allow us to affirm the court’s ruling.”
