Memorandum Opinion and Order

On July 20, 2017, I sentenced the defendant, Shon Wayne Cobbs. During that hearing, I determined that the defendant’s prior unlawful wounding conviction under W. Va. Code § 61-2-9(a) constituted a prior conviction for a “crime of violence” under the United States Sentencing Commission Guidelines Manual (“USSG”) §§ 2K2.1 and 4B1.2(a)(1). I further explain my reasoning herein.
