7th Circuit court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Anthony D. Cook
Case No.: 15-2529
Officials: MANION, KANNE, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges
Focus: Sentence Enhancement
Anthony Cook participated in an armed robbery of a Community Financial Service Center (“CFSC”) in Milwaukee. He pled guilty to obstruction of commerce by robbery and to brandishing a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence. Over Cook’s objection, the district court applied two enhancements to his sentence: a 2‐level increase for causing a loss to a financial institution and a 2‐level increase for physically restraining a person during a robbery. On appeal, Cook argues that the district court erred in applying those enhancements. We disagree, so we affirm.
