Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the district court properly attributed 16.8 kilograms of heroin to Anthony Lomax during sentencing despite the dismissal of his conspiracy charge

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED I. Despite the dismissal of Anthony Lomax’s conspiracy charge, during sentencing the district court assigned 16.8 kilograms of heroin to him. While a majority of the evidence supported Anthony acting as a buyer-seller, the district court based its finding on an erroneous “relevant conduct” analysis. Under these circumstances, should this Court grant certiorari to determine if the correct amount of heroin was attributed to Anthony? II. After considering Anthony Lomax’s criminal history, specifically an Indiana conviction for attempted murder, the district court designated Anthony a career offender under the Sentencing Guidelines. The district court made this classification even though the Indiana attempted murder statute does not require the use of force. Should this Court grant certiorari in this matter to determine if attempted murder under Indiana law is a crime of violence? | / | | PARTIES The caption of the case contains the names of all of the parties. |
