United States v. Todd Richard Franik

Todd Richard Franik appeals his conviction and sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) and § 924(e)(1). He contends that the district court 1 erred at sentencing by failing to give him a reduction for acceptance of responsibility and by refusing to depart downward from the applicable Sentencing Guideline range. He further contends that the district court erred at trial by permitting the government to introduce prior crimes of violence when he offered to stipulate to his status as a felon. We affirm.
