United States v. Wikkerink, No. 15-30152 (5th Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his sentence after pleading guilty to one count of receipt of child pornography. The court concluded that the district court made a clear and obvious error when it relied solely on the presentence report (PSR) in concluding that defendant's previous state conviction warranted sentencing enhancements under 18 U.S.C. 2252A(b)(1) and U.S.S.G. 4B1.5(a). However, the court concluded that the district court’s error in this case did not seriously affect the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings. Therefore, the court declined to exercise its discretion to correct the error and affirmed the sentence.
