Darieus Malik Williams v. United States
AdministrativeLaw Environmental SocialSecurity Securities Immigration
On Appeal DARIEUS MALIK WILLIAMS challenged the district court's finding that he unduly influenced a minor to engage in prohibited sexual conduct such that a two-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2Gl.3(b) (2) (B) was warranted; and the finding that a two-level aggravating role enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3Bl.l(c).
The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's findings.
In light of the foregoing, the question presented is as follows:
Did the Fifth Circuit's cursory review of the district court's record lead to an illegal, unreasonable sentence. Because the application of the plain standard of review is of exceptional importance to the administration of justice in federal criminal cases, this Court should grant certiorari in this case to decide this question and, and upon review, should reverse the judgment of the Fifth Circuit.
