U.S. v. WILLIAMS

Docket No. 08-5151-cr.

585 F.3d 703 (2009)

UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Durrell WILLIAMS, Defendant, Rory Jackson, also known as Roy Jackson, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

Decided: October 27, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Justin D. Lerer, Assistant United States Attorney (Jo Ann M. Navickas, Assistant United States Attorney, of counsel), for Benton J. Campbell, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Brooklyn, NY, for Appellee.

Donald Yannella, New York, NY, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before McLAUGHLIN, KATZMANN, Circuit Judges, and KORMAN, District Judge.

McLAUGHLIN, Circuit Judge.

Rory Jackson appeals his conviction after trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Dearie, C.J.) for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). We vacate the conviction because the district court improperly admitted evidence that Jackson had been present in an apartment where police later found a cache of weapons and other contraband.
