United States v. Johnson, No. 17-30937 (5th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit affirmed defendant's sentence for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine. The court held that the district court did not commit a plain or obvious error in assigning a criminal history point to defendant's prior sentence for carrying a concealed weapon. Because defendant failed to show that his substantial rights were affected, the court did not consider whether the district court plainly erred in assigning a criminal history point to the 1999 simple battery offense.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on October 22, 2018.
