United States v. Jones (Praddy), No. 11-4711 (2d Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction of drug-related charges stemming from his involvement in a group that sold marijuana in the East Flatbush area of Brooklyn, New York. The court concluded that defendant's contentions on appeal were without merit, except with respect to the statute-of-limitations challenge to his conviction under 18 U.S.C. 924(c). The court declined to uphold defendant's conviction under section 924(c) on the basis of the fiction that, simply because he continued to sell marijuana, he continued to possess the gun in question after it was seized from him by the police. Accordingly, the court reversed defendant's conviction as to that count but affirmed in all other respects.
