U.S. v. RUFFIN

No. 92-1335.

997 F.2d 343 (1993)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Andre J. RUFFIN, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided June 29, 1993.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Susan M. Knepel (argued), Office of U.S. Atty., Milwaukee, WI, for plaintiff-appellee U.S.

David Berman (argued), Milwaukee, WI, for defendant-appellant Andre Ruffin.

Before CUMMINGS, FLAUM, and EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judges.

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.

A jury convicted Andre Ruffin of armed bank robbery. His acts violated not only 18 U.S.C. § 2113 but also 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). Section 924(c) adds five years to the sentence of anyone convicted of using a gun in committing a federal offense. Ruffin accepts this penalty but contests the sentence for the bank robbery itself—264 months' imprisonment, an upward departure quadrupling the presumptive sentence.
