How courts have described this case

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

• holding that U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1 enhancement was applied properly for a defendant who failed to appear before a grand jury after being subpoenaed to appear to provide handwriting exemplars and have his tattoos photographed
• finding a rational basis for the different treatment of undischarged and discharged sentences
• “By its terms, U.S.S.G. § 5G1.3(b) only applies to a defendant serving an undischarged term of imprisonment at the time of his federal sentencing.”
• a “reasonable justification” is sufficient to establish a rational basis for a statutory distinction
• “That distinction ensures that if two defendants who are convicted of identical state law crimes are subsequently convicted on a federal charge for the same conduct . . . then those two defendants will serve an equal term of imprisonment upon their conviction . . . .”
