    Case No. 7:17CV00345 (W.D. Va. Oct. 23, 2017)

    The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit initially affirmed Robinson's judgment in 2000, and the Supreme Court remanded the case for reconsideration in light of its decision in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000). Ultimately, the judgment against Robinson was affirmed on appeal. See United States v. Robinson, 39 F. App'x 386 (7th Cir. 2002) (unpublished), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 963 (2002) and cert. denied sub nom. Sallis v. United States, 540 U.S. 931 (2003). In its ruling, the court of appeals reaffirmed its prior holding that "§ 848(b) was a sentencing factor, not an element of the charge which had to be set out in the indictment and proved beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury."
