Stinson v. United States, 506 U.S. 972 (1992)

Stinson v. United States

Opinion of the Court

C. A. 11th Cir. Motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted. Certiorari granted limited to the following question: “Whether a court's failure to follow Sentencing Guidelines commentary that gives specific direction that the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon is not a crime of violence under USSG §4B1.1, see USSG §4B1.2 comment., n. 2, constitutes an ‘incorrect application of the sentencing guidelines’ under 18 U. S. C. § 3742(f)(1).”
