United States v. Jamar Greer

418 F. App'x 608

Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

The district court did not abuse its discretion by admitting evidence of Greer’s gun possession at the time of his arrest. The gun evidence provided necessary context for a taped “fall out” conversation between two other co-conspirators to show that Greer was a member of the conspiracy. See United States v. DeGeorge, 380 F.3d 1203, 1220 (9th Cir.2004). The evidence was not unduly prejudicial because it tied Greer to the taped conversation— which was charged as an overt act of the conspiracy — and the court gave a proper limiting jury instruction. See id.; see also United States v. Cherer, 513 F.3d 1150, 1158-59 (9th Cir.2008).

As the government concedes, we must remand so that the district court can conform the written judgment to the oral pronouncement at sentencing. See United States v. Munoz-Dela Rosa, 495 F.2d 253, 256 (9th Cir.1974). The written order should be corrected to prohibit Greer from obtaining identification in any name other than his true legal name without prior written approval from the Probation Officer.

CONVICTION AFFIRMED; SENTENCE VACATED AND REMANDED IN PART.
