Posted by: Karen Belcher on Jul 12, 2023

Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Noah R. Friend, NOAH R. FRIEND LAW FIRM, PLLC, Versailles, Kentucky, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: John Patrick Grant, Charles P. Wisdom, Jr., UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Lexington, Kentucky, for Appellee.

Judge(s): GILMAN, LARSEN, and NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Pikeville

RONALD LEE GILMAN, Circuit Judge. Following an incident in which both she and a state trooper were shot, Tiffany Renee Miller pleaded guilty to (1) possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and (2) possession of a stolen firearm. The district court, after applying the cross-reference to attempted murder from the United States Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G.), sentenced Miller to 240 months of imprisonment. This is the statutory maximum based on the firearms offenses to which she pleaded guilty. Miller appeals her sentence, arguing that it is both procedurally and substantively unreasonable. For the reasons set forth below, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
