Dawn Nguyen v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 17-1897 · judgment October 10, 2017
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether, in light of this Court’s holdings in Burrage v. United States, 571 U.S. ___, 134 S.Ct. 881 (2014) and Volkman v. United States, 571 U.S. ___, 135 S.Ct. 13 (2014) (enhanced sentences arising from death or serious injury resulting from an offense) it was permissible for the District Court to impose upon the Petitioner a sentence enhanced fourfold from the maximum United States Sentencing Commission Guidelines range by deciding that, two and one-half years after the fact, death or serious injury had “resulted” from her “straw purchase” of firearms.
