Michael Hunter v. Dexter Payne

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Michael Hunter's habeas petition and held that his 840-month sentence for engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise did not exceed the applicable statutory maximum. It also held that the continuing-criminal-enterprise offense was committed shortly before Hunter's 2013 arrest, making the prosecution timely, and that the amended information provided adequate notice without changing the nature or degree of the offense. The court separately denied Hunter's motion to amend his reply brief.
