Daily dose of Booker in the Sixth Circuit
Continuing to clear its docket, the Sixth Circuit keeps up the pace with Booker rulings through two (unpublished) decisions released today: US v. Story, No. 03-6260 (6th Cir. Mar. 9, 2005) (available here) and US v. Ryan, No. 04-5401 (6th Cir. Mar. 10, 2005) (available here). Both cases involve plain-error remands. Neither seems to break new ground, but they reinforce the reality, noted here yesterday, that the treatment of plain error issues has settled down in the Sixth Circuit (in contrast to the madness which, as detailed here, now rages in the in the Fourth Circuit).
UPDATE: Appellate Law & Practice has some additional coverage here.
