UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
BRUCE TIMOTHY JONES,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Georgia
(March 12, 2007)
Before DUBINA and COX, Circuit Judges, and SCHLESINGER,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM:
__________________
*Honorable Harvey E. Schlesinger, United States District Judge for the Middle District of
Florida, sitting by designation.
A jury found appellant Bruce Timothy Jones (“Jones”) guilty of possession
of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Jones then
perfected this appeal.
Jones presents the following issues for appellate review:
1. Whether the district court erred in denying Jones’s motion to suppress
evidence on his claims that the warrant was issued after the search and lacked
probable cause.
2. Whether the district court erred in denying Jones’s motion to suppress
statements he made to police officers.
3. Whether the district court erred in refusing to compel disclosure of the
identity of a confidential informant.
4. Whether the district court improperly sentenced Jones by
(a) using allegedly invalid prior convictions to calculate his
base offense level and criminal history category,
(b) using facts not pled or proven to the jury to enhance his base offense
level and calculate his criminal history category, in violation of
United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S. Ct. 738, 160 L. Ed. 2d
621 (2005), and
(c) using his prior convictions to enhance his sentence, in violation of the
Double Jeopardy Clause.
2
5. Whether the indictment should have been dismissed for pre-indictment
delay under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161.
After reviewing the record and reading the parties’ briefs, we conclude there
is no merit to any of Jones’s arguments. Accordingly, we affirm his conviction
and sentence.
AFFIRMED.
