United States of America v. Bryant D. Aron
22-2364
Criminal. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division. Chief Judge Holly Brady. Affirms the district court’s conviction of Bryant Aron on the charge of possession of a firearm and ammunition as a felon in violation and its sentence of him to the statutory maximum of 10 years in prison. Finds Aron was given sufficient notice of the court’s rejection of the plea agreement to give him the opportunity to fully litigate the basis for the four-level enhancement in the PSR for use of the firearm during another felony offense. Also finds that Aron’s arguments that the court improperly inserted itself into the plea negotiation process and abused its discretion by failing to provide a sound reason for rejecting the binding plea agreement are lacking in merit.
