U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
United States v. Conrado Perez
August 24, 2026
Summary
The court affirmed Perez’s 216-month sentence and rejected his constitutional challenge to the federal felon-in-possession statute. It held that controlling circuit precedent foreclosed the challenge, that the district court adequately supported its finding that the offense involved importing methamphetamine, and that the below-Guidelines sentence was substantively reasonable.
