19-1287, 19-1768, 19-2049
USA v. Maez is an appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Jon DeGuilio.
Criminal. Affirms judgment of the Northern District Court against Carlos Maez in United States v. Maez, 19‐1287. Affirms Matthew Jones’ conviction in United States v. Jones, 19‐1768, vacates his sentence and remands the case to the district court for resentencing. After applying plain‐error review, concludes that the asserted errors do not require reversing any of the convictions, but vacates Jones’ sentence because the district court made a Tapia error. Also affirms Cameron Battiste’s conviction in United States v. Battiste, 19‐2049.
