Description
James Whitney was convicted of interfering with federal housing rights on the basis of race, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 3631(a), and conspiracy to interfere with those federal rights, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241. On appeal, Mr. Whitney argues: (1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain both convictions; (2) the district court committed plain error by allowing the co-defendants and one co-defendant's wife to testify that the co-defendants had pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge; and (3) the court committed plain error by increasing his criminal history level by one point for a prior conviction of "Minor In Possession." For the reasons set forth below, we affirm Mr. Whitney's convictions and sentence.
