United States v. Daniel L. Strandberg

ALARCON, Circuit Judge:

Daniel Lee Strandberg appeals from the sentence imposed by the district court. He contends that the court erred in ordering a two-point upward adjustment under United States Sentencing Guidelines § 2B3.1(b)(2)(F) (formerly § 2B3.1(b)(2)(D)) of the offense level because he uttered an express threat of death.

We affirm because we conclude that Strandberg’s admonition to a teller not to “pull the alarm or my friend will start shooting” is an express threat of death justifying a two-level upward adjustment under the applicable sentencing guideline.
