United States v. Tisdale

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that application note 6’s language is permissive, not mandatory
• observing that an affiant’s inclusion of assumed but unverified information relayed to him by another officer was “reasonable”
• concluding a magistrate judge could infer a nexus existed to search a suspect’s car where a dead body lay adjacent to the vehicle and an unidentified party had opened the trunk earlier in the day
• noting that where a party “fails to lodge a specific objection with the district court to its interpretation or application of the sentencing guidelines,” we review only for plain error
• finding section 5G1.3(b) inapplicable where the base offense level was increased because of the defendant’s conduct in the commission of the federal offense and not for his conduct in the state offenses
• “The issuing judge is expected to draw reasonable inferences from information found in the affidavits.”
