U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

United States v. Resendez-Hernandez

September 9, 2026

Summary

The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's sentencing of Resendez-Hernandez and dismissed his challenge to the guilty plea as waived because his notice of appeal was limited to the sentence, and it upheld the district court's findings that a sock with a hard object constituted a dangerous weapon and that the officers' injuries justified the guideline enhancements.
