Michael Anthony Granado v. United States
The United States Sentencing Guidelines directs courts to use uncharged
offenses in its calculation of a defendant's guideline range if the uncharged
offenses constitute "relevant conduct" under U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3. The Sixth Circuit
Court of Appeals held that possession of firearms in You Tube music videos
constituted "relevant conduct", notwithstanding the fact that each music video is
the fact that there is no common separated by approximately a year, as well as
similar modus operandi between the uncharged conduct and the instant purpose or
conviction. Are district courts being allowed to overreach and misapply the relevant
conduct" section of the Guidelines?
