United States v. Tillery, No. 11-4819 (4th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his jury conviction of a Hobbs Act robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1951(a), and using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 924(c)(1)(A)(ii). Defendant also challenged his sentence. When defendant stole money from the dry cleaners' cash register, depleting an inherently economic enterprise of its assets, the Hobbs Act jurisdictional requirement was satisfied. The court held that there was sufficient evidence to support defendant's conviction; the district court did not plainly err when delivering the jury instructions; and defendant was properly sentenced as a career offender. Accordingly, the court affirmed the conviction and sentence.
