7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Anna F. Novak & John C. Morrison
Case No.: 15-3589; 15-3601
Officials: POSNER, FLAUM, and MANION, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sentencing – Constitutionality
Defendants-appellants John Morrison and Anna Novak both pled guilty to distributing a controlled substance analog and to tax fraud. The district court accepted their guilty pleas and later sentenced Morrison to forty-eight months of incarceration and Novak to ninety-six months. They now appeal, challenging the constitutionality of the Controlled Substances Analogue Act, 21 U.S.C. § 813 (the Analogue Act), the district court’s acceptance of their guilty pleas, and their sentences. We affirm.
