Unpublished Decisions

U.S. v. Gonzales-Calzadillas, 2013 WL 264553 (1/24/13) (Col.) (unpub'd) - Just a surprising fact that the probation office recommended a downward variance from 57 to 71 months to 36 months because the reentry defendant had never served a prison sentence. That sentence was reasonable, according to the 10th.

U.S. v. Sebreros-Castro, 2013 WL 288556 (1/26/13) (Ut.) (unpub'd) - As a result of Utah's inflexible electronic warrant system, an officer ended up producing a warrant "to search the defendant's residence for an arrest warrant." Since the warrant was most reasonably read as an arrest warrant mistakenly formatted in a search warrant template, the 10th ruled the officer legally entered the defendant's residence to arrest him pursuant to the warrant.
