United States v. Jacob Hixson

BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge.

Defendant Jacob Hixson pleaded guilty to assault resulting in serious bodily injury in aid of racketeering. He was sentenced to 37 months’ imprisonment. Hix-son appealed his sentence, arguing that the district court had insufficient evidence to support the application of the Guidelines enhancement in U.S.S.G. § 2A2.2(b)(2)(B) for use of a dangerous weapon. Alternatively, Hixson argues that the district court should have held a separate evidentiary hearing for sentencing purposes. Finding no merit to his claims, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
