United States v. Golden, No. 11-2488 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to possession of stolen firearms and was sentenced to 89 months' imprisonment. Defendant appealed his sentence, arguing that the probation office improperly assessed a criminal history point for three misdemeanor convictions arising out of the same arrest. The court held that the district court properly treated defendant's prior sentences as a single sentence under U.S.S.G. 4A1.2(a)(2), and correctly scored one criminal history point under U.S.S.G. 4A1(c) for a prior uncounseled misdemeanor that resulted in no jail time. Therefore, there was no procedural error in calculating defendant's sentence and the judgment was affirmed.
