United States V. Bennett

MERRITT, Chief Judge. The defendant, Noah Bennett, appeals his conviction and sentence for possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Bennett's main challenge is to his sentence. Under the United States Sentencing Guidelines the district court assessed a two level increase for obstruction of Justice. The court also departed upward five months above the maximum time provided under the Guidelines. Bennett was sentenced to 51 months imprisonment and three years of supervised release. For the reasons that follow we affirm Bennett's conviction and the sentence.
