Abstract

Defendant-Appellant Francois Holloway appeals from a judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Gleeson, J.), following a jury trial, convicting Holloway of numerous offenses connected with his participation in several carjackings in Queens, New York. Holloway was convicted of one count of conspiracy to operate a "chop shop" in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 (count one); one count of operating a chop shop in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2322 (count two); three counts of carjacking in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2119 (counts seven, nine, and eleven); and three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) (counts eight, ten, and twelve). Holloway was sentenced to 60 months on count one; 151 months on count two, to run concurrently with count one; 151 months on each of counts seven, nine, and eleven, to run concurrently with each other and counts one and two; 5 years on count eight, to run consecutively; and 20 years each on count ten and count twelve, each to run consecutively. Defendant was also sentenced to terms of supervised release and a special assessment of $400.

On appeal, Holloway contends that: (1) the district court erroneously charged the jury on the intent element of the carjacking statute; (2) his trial counsel rendered constitutionally ineffective assistance; and (3) the trial court improperly imposed consecutive sentences pursuant to Holloway's firearm convictions.

Judge Miner's dissent begins on page 90.
