US v. Byas, No. 08-3281
Defendant's firearm possession sentence is affirmed where the district court's inference of a sufficient nexus between defendant and the firearm at issue was not clearly erroneous, because a factfinder could draw the reasonable inference that defendant and his companions knew the loaded rifle at issue was in the trunk of defendant's car.
