United States v. Morales

Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

Decided July 15, 2014No. 13-3202PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

MURPHY, Circuit Judge.

I. Introduction

Defendant-appellant, Juan D. Morales, was found guilty of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and sentenced to eighty-six months’ imprisonment. In this appeal, Morales argues the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. He also argues his Fifth Amendment due process rights were violated when he was placed in handcuffs and transported through the public area of the courthouse in view of the venire. Exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm Morales’s conviction and deny his request for a new trial.
