United States v. Haggerty, No. 13-1093 (10th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Tyre S. Haggerty pled guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, and one count of possession of a firearm by a previously convicted felon. He appealed the convictions, arguing his seventy-two-month sentence was procedurally unreasonable because the district court failed to consider the criteria in United States Sentencing Guidelines for a one-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility. Both appellant and the government sought reversal and remand of the judgment, with directions for the district court to grant or deny the reduction based on its consideration of the Guidelines. Upon review, the Tenth Circuit agreed appellant should be resentenced, and remanded to the district court.
