United States v. Requejo

2 Citing cases

  1. Jimenez-Garcia v. United States

    Civil Action 4:23-cv-406-O (N.D. Tex. Dec. 4, 2023)

    United States v. Requejo, 537 Fed.Appx. 474, 476 (5th Cir. 2013) (quoting United States v. Cisneros-Gutierrez, 517 F.3d 751, 766 (5th Cir. 2008) (other citation omitted)).

  2. Araromi v. United States

    No. EP-13-CV-201 (W.D. Tex. Apr. 23, 2014)

    Zapata-Lara, 615 F.3d at 390. The Fifth Circuit has "long held that a large 'amount of drugs . . . delivered and [high] street value increase the likelihood - and thus foreseeability - that those involved in the conspiracy will have dangerous weapons.'" United States v. Requejo, 537 F. App'x 474, 476 (5th Cir. 2013) (quoting Cisneros-Gutierrez, 517 F.3d at 766). Where evidence exists that a "coconspirator possessed a firearm during the course of the conspiracy" and the defendant "heard about the coconspirator's gun," a district court may permissibly find that the "codefendant's possession of a dangerous weapon was reasonably foreseeable" for the purposes of § 2D1.1(b)(1).
