7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Michael Flournoy
Case No.: 14-2325
Officials: FLAUM, MANION, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Resentencing – Court Error
Following a jury trial, Michael Flournoy was convicted of one count of conspiring to possess cocaine and one count of attempting to possess cocaine. Flournoy appeals, claiming he is entitled to a new trial be‐ cause the prosecutor made inappropriate comments during closing argument and because the government presented testimony from a cooperating witness that conflicted with that witness’s plea agreement. Flournoy also claims that the district court erred in adding several discretionary conditions to the terms of his supervised release without explanation. We affirm Flournoy’s conviction, but remand for resentencing.
