U.S. v. BROWN

No. 16-3076.

857 F.3d 403 (2017)

United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.

Decided May 23, 2017.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Barbara E. Kittay , Rockville, MD, appointed by the court, was on the brief for appellant.

Elizabeth Trosman and Lauren R. Bates , Assistant U.S. Attorneys, were on the brief for appellee.

Before: Garland, Chief Judge, Griffith, Circuit Judge, and Sentelle, Senior Circuit Judge.
