Does a sentencing error in sentencing appellant's codefendants constitute an exclusion from a "class" from which appellant was improperly excluded?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Leyvas, 446 F.2d 901 (9th Cir. 1971):
Error in sentencing appellant's codefendants does not establish any "class" from which appellant was improperly excluded, and there is no denial of equal protection. (Cf. North Carolina v. Pearce (1969) 395 U.S. 711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L.Ed.2d 656.)
