Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Haralambos D. Mihas, SMITH MIHAS, Wyandotte, Michigan, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Margaret M. Smith, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Detroit, Michigan, for Appellee.

Judge(s): COLE, WHITE, and MATHIS, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

MATHIS, Circuit Judge. This case comes before us for a second time. The district court sentenced Michael Mills to the statutory maximum for being a felon in possession of ammunition. We remanded the case to the district court to make additional factual findings about a sentencing enhancement that significantly increased Mills’s Sentencing Guidelines range. The district court made those factual findings and reimposed the same sentence. Mills once again challenges the application of the same sentencing enhancement and otherwise argues that his sentence is procedurally infirm because the district court considered an improper factor and did not consider one of his sentencing arguments. We affirm.
