Heading: Assignment of Criminal History Category

Text: Ronnanita next contests the district court’s calculation of her criminal history category. The PSR assessed one criminal history point to Ronnanita pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4A1.1(c) for a conviction of larceny by conversion Nos. 11-1013, 11-3008 & 11-3082 27 on July 18, 2005. Ronnanita received a twelve-month probation sentence, plus a fine, for that conviction. Section 4A1.1(d) states that two points should be added “if the defendant committed the instant offense while under any criminal justice sentence, including probation[.]” Accordingly, the PSR applied two additional criminal history points because Ronnanita’s criminal charges were committed while Ronnanita was still on probation for the larceny conviction, which she was not discharged from until May 15, 2006. A criminal history category II was thus designated, which corresponds to the three criminal history points assigned to Ronnanita. Ronnanita claims this criminal history category was incorrect because four of the eight counts on which she was convicted occurred after she was discharged from probation on May 15, 2006. We first note Ronnanita’s failure to object to her criminal history calculation in the district court, so we only review for plain error. See United States v. Vasquez, 673 F.3d 680, 684 (7th Cir. 2012). But regardless of the standard applied, Ronnanita’s argument easily fails because all that is required under U.S.S.G. § 4A1.1(d) is for “any relevant conduct” of the offense to have been committed while the defendant was on probation, see § 4A1.1 cmt. n.4, not the instant offense “in its entirety” as Ronnanita claims. Therefore, because the evidence at trial established that Ronnanita’s participation in the overall scheme began in early 2005 and continued at least into 2007, Ronnanita engaged in conduct related to her convictions while on probation, and the district court did not err in calculating her criminal history category. 28 Nos. 11-1013, 11-3008 & 11-3082
