US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit Opinions | | United States v. Finnesy | | Docket: 18-3045 Opinion Date: March 20, 2020 Judge: Jerome A. Holmes Areas of Law: Constitutional Law, Criminal Law | | Brandon Finnesy appealed his conviction and sentence for escape from custody. As to his conviction, which was entered upon his guilty plea, Finnesy contended he should have been permitted to withdraw his guilty plea because the magistrate judge who conducted his plea colloquy lacked “jurisdiction” to accept his plea. As to his sentence, he contended the district court erred in applying the United States Sentencing Guidelines relevant to his case. Finding no reversible errors, the Tenth Circuit affirmed Finnesy's conviction and sentence. | | |
