United States v. Campbell, No. 13-11038 (5th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of possession of drug and firearm offenses. On appeal, defendant challenged his second firearm possession conviction, which resulted in the imposition of a twenty-five year mandatory minimum sentence. The court concluded that the district court did not plainly err in instructing the jury where it was not clear or obvious that United States v. Phipps applied to the facts of defendant's case. The court also concluded that there was sufficient evidence to support defendant's offense where a reasonable jury could have concluded that he possessed at least two of the five guns found in the search warrant. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
