United States v. Skoczen

ARGUED FEBRUARY 13, 2004 On April 18, 1995, the police arrested Roman Skoczen along with several of his associates. Skoczen was accused and later convicted of conspiring to possess goods stolen from an interstate shipment and conspiring to transport stolen goods in interstate or foreign commerce. Skoczen appeals from a number of issues stemming from his trial and sentencing. We affirm Skoczen's convictions. With respect to his sentence, we follow the limited remand procedure outlined in United States v. Paladino, Nos. 03-2296 et al., 2005 WL 435430 (7th Cir. Feb. 25, 2005), so that the district court may determine in the first instance whether the new discretionary sentencing regime established in United States v. Booker, 125 S.Ct. 738 (2005), affects the sentence that the court wishes to impose.
