U.S. v. Goodwin

  1. U.S. v. Baird

    403 F. App'x 57 (6th Cir. 2010)   Cited 4 times
    Possessing stolen goods

    This Court applies a totality-of-the-circumstances analysis to establish whether a shipment is in interstate commerce at any given time. See United States v. Goodwin, 963 F.2d 129, 131 (6th Cir. 1992) (applying totality-of-circumstances analysis where theft occurred before a bill of lading was signed). In this case, the handbags were made in China, shipped to Kentucky for repackaging, and were to be sent to stores across the United States within a week or so. LeSportsac's warehouse was simply a layover as the bags traveled from manufacturer to retailers; therefore, there is no question that they were commodities in interstate commerce at the time of the theft.
