United States v. Ross
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
ORDER
After police officers found a handgun in Earl Ross’s home, he was indicted for possessing a firearm as a felon. Ross moved to suppress the handgun and twice moved to dismiss the indictment. The district court denied Ross’s motions, and he entered a conditional plea of guilty. The district court sentenced Ross to 15 years’ imprisonment — the statutory minimum under the Armed Career Criminal Act. Ross appeals the denial of his motion to suppress the handgun, the denials of his motions to dismiss the indictment, and the application of the Armed Career Criminal Act. We affirm.
