How courts have described this case

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

• holding that judicial decisions can sufficiently clarify an unclear statute and provide adequate notice that the individual’s conduct is criminal
• concluding that “[b]ecause neither this Circuit nor any other has published an opinion addressing this issue, the district court did not commit plain error” when it imposed a sentencing enhancement
• noting that the particular evidence would have led to a conviction regardless of the prosecutor's statements
• explaining that there is reversible error only when the failure to give an entrapment instruction “seriously impaired the defendant’s ability to conduct his defense”
• “A defendant’s substantial rights are prejudicially affected when a reasonable probability arises that, but for the remarks, the outcome of the trial would have been different.”
• calls to a Teamsters union employee
