USA v. McCreary-Redd (Feb. 6, 2007) (Appeal from thte E.D. Tenn.)
-  http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/07a0054p-06.pdf
-  Defendant-Appellant Perry D. McCreary-Redd ("McCreary-Redd") was charged with: (1) being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm; (2) possession with intent to distribute cocaine base; and (3) knowingly using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime. Count one of the indictment was subsequently dropped, and McCreary-Redd pled guilty to counts two and three. The district court sentenced McCreary-Redd to 123 months of imprisonment. McCreary-Redd now appeals the district court's sentence as "unreasonable." Additionally, McCreary-Redd, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court's sentence on the basis of Rule 11 violations. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 11. For the following reasons, we VACATE and REMAND McCreary-Redd's plea pursuant to Rule 11.
 
USA v. Sanford and  USA v. Hill (Feb. 6, 2007) (Appeal from thte E.D. Tenn.)
-  http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/07a0055p-06.pdf
-  Defendants Tyshawn Hill and Rondrell Sanford appeal an order of the district court denying their motion to suppress evidence discovered after a traffic stop for following another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent. TENN. CODE ANN. § 55-8-124. Specifically, defendants claim that the initial stop was not supported by probable cause or reasonable suspicion and the ensuing detention, search, and arrest were consequently tainted and unconstitutional. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
