LARRY SMITH; RAYMOND TIERRA JOHNSON, also known as “T”,

            Defendants - Appellants




                Appeals from the United States District Court
                     for the Southern District of Texas


Before STEWART, Chief Judge, and REAVLEY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
      Larry Smith, Raymond Tierra Johnson (collectively, the “Appellants”),
and eleven co-defendants were charged in a superseding indictment with a
number of offenses related to a string of bank robberies in the Houston, Texas,
area. Following a four-day trial, a jury found Appellants guilty on all counts,
and the district court sentenced each to a lengthy term of imprisonment. Both
Appellants filed timely appeals challenging their sentences on various
grounds. Johnson also appeals his conviction. For the reasons explained
herein, we AFFIRM.
          I.       FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
      At trial, the Government presented evidence that the Appellants, along
with their co-conspirators, engaged in a series of increasingly violent bank
robberies in the Houston, Texas, area between August and December 2010.
The robberies began as “note robberies,” in which a bank robber simply passed
the teller a threatening note demanding money, and escalated to “takeover
robberies,” where the robbers typically used violence and the threat of violence
to take money from the bank.
      In connection with these bank robberies, Smith was charged in a
superseding indictment with: one count of conspiracy to commit bank robbery
by force, violence, and intimidation (Count 1S); seven counts of bank robbery
(Counts 2S, 3S, 4S, 7S, 8S, 10S & 12S); and three counts of use of a firearm in
furtherance of a crime of violence (Counts 5S, 11S & 13S). Johnson was
charged in the same superseding indictment with: one count of conspiracy to
commit bank robbery by force, violence, and intimidation (Count 1S); two
counts of bank robbery (Counts 10S & 14S); two counts of use of a firearm in
furtherance of a crime of violence (Counts 11S & 15S); and one count of hostage
taking (Count 16S). 1
      At trial, the Government elicited testimony from at least one co-
conspirator regarding each of the eight bank robberies charged in the
indictment (amongst other corroborating evidence). Following a four-day trial,
a jury found Appellants guilty on all counts.
          Johnson’s PSR calculated a total offense level of 36 and a criminal
history category of VI, yielding a Guidelines range of 324 to 405 months. In
addition, Counts 11S and 15S required mandatory consecutive terms of
imprisonment of seven and twenty-five years, respectively. The district court



      1   The district court dismissed Count 16S before trial.
                                 No. 13-20542
sentenced Johnson to 744 months’ imprisonment and five years’ supervised
release.
      Smith’s PSR calculated a total offense level of 41 and a criminal history
category of IV, yielding a Guidelines range of 360 months to life. In addition,
Counts 11S, 5S, and 13S required mandatory consecutive terms of
imprisonment of seven, twenty-five and twenty-five years, respectively. The
district court sentenced Smith to 1,080 months’ imprisonment and five years’
supervised release.
                          II.      DISCUSSION
      Appellants’ challenges on appeal fall into three categories: (1) Johnson’s
evidentiary arguments relating to his conviction; (2) Johnson’s challenge to his
sentence; and (3) Smith’s challenges to his sentence. We address each in turn.
                                      A.
      Johnson argues that the district court erred in several of its evidentiary
rulings and that these errors, collectively, require this court to vacate his
conviction. We disagree. Most of Johnson’s challenges are squarely foreclosed
by precedent or were comfortably within the district court’s discretion.
Further, to the extent that the district court erred, such error was harmless in
light of the overwhelming evidence put on by the Government at trial.
                                       i.
      Johnson first argues that the district court erred in admitting certain
summary charts of phone records into evidence.         Under Federal Rule of
Evidence 1006, a party “may use a [summary] chart . . . to prove the content of
voluminous [records] that cannot be conveniently examined in court. The
proponent must make the originals or duplicates available for examination or
copying . . . by other parties at a reasonable time and place.” Fed. R. Evid.
1006. The Government met all of the elements of Rule 1006: Johnson does not
dispute that the relevant charts summarized voluminous records (300,000
                                       3
                                 No. 13-20542
phone records) and that he received the underlying records before trial.
Instead, Johnson claims that the district court erred because (1) the
Government did not also enter the underlying phone records into evidence, and
(2) the district court failed to provide a contemporaneous limiting jury
instruction that the charts were not, themselves, proof of facts.       These
arguments are foreclosed by precedent. See United States v. Valencia, 600 F.3d
389, 417–18 (5th Cir. 2010) (holding that requiring the admission of underlying
records “would contravene the plain language and purposes of Rule 1006”);
United States v. Williams, 264 F.3d 561, 574–75 (5th Cir. 2001) (determining
that “[a] summary chart that meets the requirements of Rule 1006 is itself
evidence and no [limiting] instruction is needed”).
                                      ii.
      Next, Johnson argues that the district court improperly admitted certain
lay opinion testimony by Detective John Albin and FBI Special Agent Mark
Michalek.
      Detective Albin testified on direct examination generally about his
observations at the scene of the bank robbery charged in Count 14S. This
particular bank robbery was notable because Johnson was arrested while
fleeing a short distance from the bank.      On cross-examination, Johnson’s
counsel asked about a gun and a glove that Detective Albin found on a grassy
median in between the bank and where Johnson was apprehended;
specifically, he asked whether Detective Albin could determine if the
placement of the items was “consistent with someone dropping [the gun] while
they are running.”     On re-direct examination, the Government showed
Detective Albin photos from inside the bank during the robbery and asked him
to compare the glove that he recovered with a glove that one of the robbers was
wearing during the robbery.


                                       4
                                  No. 13-20542
      Johnson    argues    that   Detective   Albin’s   testimony   on   re-direct
examination was improper because it exceeded the scope of cross-examination,
involved speculation, and invaded the province of the jury.         As an initial
matter, we conclude that Detective Albin’s re-direct was properly within the
scope of Johnson’s cross-examination.         Johnson’s cross-examination was
clearly intended to create doubt as to whether he could have been carrying the
glove and gun at issue as he was fleeing the scene of the robbery charged in
Count 14S. Thus, Johnson opened the door to a re-direct examination that
attempted to tie him to those items. Because the re-direct examination was
linked to issues brought up during cross-examination, the district court did not
abuse its “wide discretion” by admitting the challenged testimony. See 4 Jack
B. Weinstein & Margaret A. Berger, Weinstein’s Federal Evidence § 611.03[5]
(Mark S. Brodin, ed., Matthew Bender 2d ed. 2015); see also United States v.
Keith, 582 F. App’x 300, 302 (5th Cir. 2014); United States v. Reed, 277 F. App’x
357, 362–63 (5th Cir. 2008).        Further, there was nothing particularly
speculative about Detective Albin comparing the glove he found at the scene
with a glove that one of the bank robbers was wearing in a picture of the
robbery, and his testimony did not invade the province of the jury as it was
“based on observations and . . . did not tell the jury what verdict it should reach
or state legal conclusions.” United States v. Flores-Diaz, 176 F.3d 480, 1999
WL 155674, at *3 (5th Cir. 1999) (unpublished); see also Fed. R. Evid. 704.
      Johnson raises a similar challenge to the testimony of Agent Michalek.
Agent Michalek testified on direct examination that “DNA confirmation was
found for Raymond Johnson” at the robbery charged in Count 14S.               The
Government’s DNA expert had previously testified that Johnson’s DNA could




                                        5
                                       No. 13-20542
not be excluded from a sample taken from a gun at the crime scene, but that
he could not match Johnson to the DNA sample with scientific certainty. 2
           Johnson argues that Agent Michalek’s testimony on direct examination
was improper because he offered expert testimony as a lay witness, and the
testimony that he provided regarding the DNA evidence was factually
incorrect. We need not decide whether Agent Michalek’s testimony crossed
over into impermissible expert testimony because any error in admitting the
evidence was harmless, as the other evidence of Johnson’s guilt was
overwhelming. See United States v. Williams, 957 F.2d 1238, 1244 (5th Cir.
1992) (holding admission of evidence harmless in light of overwhelming
evidence of the defendant’s guilt).               For example, two of Johnson’s co-
conspirators in the charged robberies testified about participating in the
robbery in Count 10S with Johnson, one testified about participating in the
robbery in Count 14S with Johnson, and Officer Todd Ritz testified that he
arrested Johnson as Johnson was fleeing the scene of the Count 14S robbery.
                                             iii.
       Finally, Johnson argues that the admission of several out-of-court
statements made to law enforcement violated his rights under the Sixth
Amendment’s Confrontation Clause. Specifically, Agent Michalek testified
that: (1) co-conspirator Carl Turner told him during the course of an interview
that Smith recruited him for a bank robbery and that he had phone contact
with Smith before the bank robbery; (2) co-conspirator Clayton McClenon
stated that he allowed someone to use his van on the day of one of the bank
robberies, that he filed a false police report claiming that the van was stolen,



       2 The DNA expert testified that he could only match the DNA sample to Johnson with
scientific certainty if, inter alia, the odds of a random match were 1/308,000,000,000. He
further explained that the probability of selecting an unrelated person at random in this case
was 1/608,300,000 for whites, 1/761,000 for blacks and 1/840,300,000 for Hispanics.

                                  No. 13-20542
and that his alias is “Poo-Poo”; and (3) Smith stated during the course of an
interview that his income is derived from collecting disability, “girls,” and
gambling, that Poo-Poo is his brother, and that he knew that Poo-Poo’s van
was stolen and recovered. Johnson failed to properly object to this evidence
before the district court, and thus plain error review applies. See United States
v. Cervantes, 706 F.3d 603, 615–16 (5th Cir. 2013).
      Johnson argues that the admission of Carl Turner’s out-of-court
statements violated his confrontation rights under Crawford v. Washington,
541 U.S. 36 (2004). We disagree. Carl Turner testified at trial—in fact, he
provided extensive testimony, including testimony regarding the two facts
relayed in Agent Michalek’s testimony. Johnson also had the opportunity to
cross-examine him regarding those facts. Because Turner appeared at trial,
his later-admitted out-of-court statements did not violate Crawford. See id. at
50–59.
      Johnson also challenges Clayton McClenon’s out-of-court statements
under Crawford. However, the district court did not plainly err in admitting
the testimony because it was not clearly introduced for the truth of the matter
asserted.   See Williams v. Illinois, 132 S. Ct. 2221, 2228 (2012) (“[T]he
Confrontation Clause . . . has no application to out-of-court statements that are
not offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted.”). Clayton McClenon’s
statements regarding his van and his nickname were introduced in the context
of how Agent Michalek developed suspects—in particular Smith—for the
charged bank robberies. This court has consistently held that “[o]ut-of-court
statements . . . providing background information to explain the actions of
investigators are not hearsay” as they are not offered for the truth of the matter
asserted.   See United States v. Lundy, 676 F.3d 444, 455 (5th Cir. 2012)




                                        7
                                    No. 13-20542
(alteration in original); United States v. Dunigan, 555 F.3d 501, 507 (5th Cir.
2009); United States v. Carrillo, 20 F.3d 617, 619 (5th Cir. 1994). 3
      Finally, Johnson argues that the admission of Smith’s out-of-court
statements violated his confrontation rights under both Crawford and Bruton
v. United States, 391 U.S. 123 (1968).           First, Smith’s statements do not
constitute Bruton error because they do not directly implicate Johnson in the
charged criminal acts. See Richardson v. Marsh, 481 U.S. 200, 208 (1987) (non-
testifying co-defendant’s confession admissible under Bruton because it did not
implicate the defendant on its face, and any implication of the defendant in the
admitted statement required linkage with other trial evidence). Smith does
not mention Johnson in the challenged statements and the conveyed
information had only a tangential connection to Johnson’s charged criminal
conduct. Second, like McClenon’s statements, the admission of Smith’s out-of-
court statements did not plainly violate Crawford, as they were introduced in
the context of how Agent Michalek developed suspects, rather than for the
truth of the matter asserted. See Lundy, 676 F.3d at 455; Dunigan, 555 F.3d
at 507; Carrillo, 20 F.3d at 619; Gonzales, 606 F.2d at 77. 4
      Accordingly, we find no reason to disturb Johnson’s conviction.
                                           B.
      We turn next to Johnson’s sentencing challenge. Johnson appeals the
district court’s application of a two-point “use of minor” sentencing
enhancement to Counts 10S and 14S. See U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4. “This court




      3  Even if introducing Clayton McClenon’s statements was error, it did not affect
Johnson’s substantial rights: the statements were not particularly incriminating as to
Johnson, all of the information conveyed in McClenon’s statements also came out in the
testimony of other witnesses, and the other evidence of Johnson’s guilt was overwhelming.
       4 Further, any error in introducing Smith’s out-of-court statements did not affect

Johnson’s substantial rights, as the statements were not particularly incriminating as to
Johnson and the other evidence of Johnson’s guilt was overwhelming.

reviews de novo the district court’s guidelines interpretations and reviews for
clear error the district court’s findings of fact.” United States v. Miller, 607
F.3d 144, 147 (5th Cir. 2010) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted).
      The Sentencing Guidelines provide for a two-level enhancement if a
defendant “used or attempted to use a person less than eighteen years of age
to commit [an] offense or assist in avoiding detection of, or apprehension for,
[an] offense.” U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4. The Application Notes explain that “‘[u]sed or
attempted to use’ includes directing, commanding, encouraging, intimidating,
counseling, training, procuring, recruiting, or soliciting.” U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4,
comment. (n.1).
      All parties agree that a minor must play an affirmative or active role in
the relevant criminal conduct in order for the two-level sentencing
enhancement to apply. See United States v. Molina, 469 F.3d 408, 414–15 (5th
Cir. 2006) (holding that a minor’s mere presence with the defendant during the
offense is insufficient to apply the enhancement).           Here, a minor—W.J.—
clearly played an active role in the criminal conduct in both Counts 10S and
14S: he served as a getaway driver for the robbery in Count 10S and was
assigned the role of a getaway driver for the robbery in Count 14S (although
he ultimately fled the scene without any passengers).
       Johnson’s primary argument in response is that a U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4
sentencing enhancement applies only if he personally used or attempted to use
a minor to commit an offense. In other words, he argues that mere criminal
partnership with a minor is insufficient and that the enhancement is not
appropriate based only on a co-conspirator’s reasonably foreseeable use of a
minor. 5



      5 We have previously acknowledged a circuit split regarding whether the “use of a
minor” enhancement is appropriate based only on a co-conspirator’s reasonably foreseeable
                                           9
                                        No. 13-20542
       We need not decide whether Johnson’s interpretation of § 3B1.4 is
correct, as his challenge fails regardless. First, there was sufficient evidence
to support a finding that Johnson directly involved W.J. in the criminal conduct
in Count 10S: (1) Smith planned the robbery, but was in Las Vegas at the time
it was carried out; (2) in Smith’s absence, Johnson was in charge of directing
the robbery; (3) W.J. participated in the robbery and served as Johnson’s
getaway driver; and (4) after the robbery, Johnson split up the proceeds
amongst the participants, including W.J. 6 See United States v. Robinson, 654
F.3d 558, 563 (5th Cir. 2011) (upholding the enhancement where there was
sufficient evidence from which to infer that the defendant directed a minor to
take an action to assist the offense). Second, there may not have been sufficient
evidence to infer that Johnson directly used W.J. in Count 14S, but any error
in applying the two-level sentencing enhancement to Count 14S was harmless:
the enhancement had no impact on Johnson’s ultimate Combined Adjusted
Offense Level 7 and therefore had no effect on the Guidelines range calculation
in Johnson’s PSR. See United States v. Garcia-Gonzalez, 714 F.3d 306, 315




use of a minor and have declined to decide the issue. See United States v. Ghali, 184 F. App’x
391, 397 n.9 (5th Cir. 2006). We take the same course here.
          6 W.J. also testified at trial that Johnson was directing the activity for this bank

robbery. For example, Johnson directed W.J. on where to drive as they were fleeing the
robbery.
          7 The PSR did not group Counts 10S and 14S together for purposes of calculating

Johnson’s total offense level. Instead, it used U.S.S.G. § 3D1.4 to calculate a Combined
Offense Level. Under this procedure, the PSR started with the offense with the highest
offense level; here, Count 10S had the highest offense level, which was 35. According to the
chart in § 3D1.4, the PSR then increased the offense level by 1 level for any additional offense
that is 5 to 8 levels less serious than the most serious offense (i.e., offenses with an offense
level of 27 to 30). Here, Count 14S had an offense level of 30; thus, the PSR added 1 level to
the offense level in Count 10S, to arrive at a Combined Offense Level of 36. If the PSR had
not applied the two-level enhancement to Count 14S, the Count would have had an offense
level of 28, which would still correspond to a 1 level increase to the offense level in Count 10S
(i.e., it would still result in a Combined Offense Level of 36).
                                              10
                                 No. 13-20542
(5th Cir. 2013) (citing United States v. Ramos, 71 F.3d 1150, 1158 n.27 (5th
Cir. 1995)).
       Therefore, we conclude that Johnson’s challenge to his sentence does not
warrant remand.
                                       C.
       Finally, we turn to Smith’s sentencing challenges. Smith appeals the
district court’s application of four separate sentencing enhancements and
argues that the cumulative error warrants resentencing. We disagree and hold
that the district court did not commit reversible error.
                                       i.
       Smith first challenges the district court’s application of an “abduction”
sentencing enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(4)(A) to Counts 10S and
12S.    The Sentencing Guidelines provide for a four-level sentencing
enhancement if any person was abducted to facilitate commission of a robbery
or to facilitate escape. U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(4)(A). “Abducted” is defined as
follows: “a victim was forced to accompany an offender to a different location.
For example, a bank robber’s forcing a bank teller from the bank into a getaway
car would constitute an abduction.” U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1, comment. (n.1); U.S.S.G.
§ 1B1.1, comment. (n.1(A)).
       In both Counts 10S and 12S, bank robbers forcefully moved various bank
employees to different locations within the banks (e.g., the bank vaults) to aid
in stealing money during the course of the bank robberies. Citing cases from
other circuits, Smith argues that because the victims were only forcibly moved
within the banks, the sentencing enhancement is inappropriate because none
of the victims were moved to “another location.”
       However, we have consistently held that “[t]he forced movement of a
bank employee from one room of a bank to another—so long as it is in aid of
commission of the offense or to facilitate escape—is sufficient to support the
                                       11
                                       No. 13-20542
enhancement given the flexible approach we have adopted in this circuit.”
United States v. Washington, 500 F. App’x 279, 285 (5th Cir. 2012). Indeed, we
have repeatedly applied this enhancement to factual situations very similar to
those in Counts 10S and 12S. See, e.g., United States v. Bonner, 575 F. App’x
250, 251 (5th Cir. 2014) (bank robbers moved bank manager from the floor of
the bank to the bank vault, then from the bank vault to his office, then back to
the bank vault). 8
       Thus, the district court did not err in applying the “abduction”
sentencing enhancement.
                                              ii.
       Smith next challenges the district court’s application of a two-point “use
of minor” sentencing enhancement to Count 12S. See U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4. Smith
argues that the sentencing enhancement is inappropriate because the minor—
W.J.—was merely present at the scene of the offense (i.e., he did not play an
active role in the offense). In the alternative, Smith argues, like Johnson, that
the enhancement does not apply because he did not personally take an
affirmative action to involve W.J. in the charged criminal conduct. Again, we
disagree.
       Smith originally recruited W.J. to join the conspiracy to rob banks, and
W.J. subsequently participated in a number of bank robberies planned by
Smith. The evidence in the PSR provided sufficient evidence from which to


       8 See also United States v. Holiday, 582 F. App’x 551, 552 (5th Cir. 2014) (three armed

infer Smith attempted to use W.J. in a similar fashion for the bank robbery
charged in Count 12S. Prior to the robbery, W.J. met with Smith and others
to plan the operation. W.J. stated that the group, including Smith, planned to
use W.J. as a driver in the robbery. 9 W.J. then drove Johnson and Carl Turner
to a Regions Bank, intending to be the getaway driver after they robbed the
bank. When the group changed plans and decided to rob a different bank, W.J.
backed out of being the driver but remained in the getaway vehicle with Smith.
Ultimately, the robbery did not go as planned, and the co-conspirators that
entered the bank were apprehended. Smith’s original recruitment of W.J. for
bank robberies, and his use or attempted use of W.J. as a getaway driver or to
assist the getaway driver for the robbery in Count 12S fits squarely with the
enhancement in U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4. See U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4, comment. (n.1) (“‘Used
or attempted to use’ includes directing, commanding, encouraging, . . .
procuring, recruiting, or soliciting.”).
                                           iii.
      Smith’s third challenge is to the district court’s application of a “bodily
injury” sentencing enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(3)(A) to Count 12S.
      The Sentencing Guidelines provide               for a two-level       sentencing
enhancement if any victim sustains a “bodily injury” during a robbery.
U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(3)(A). “Bodily injury” is defined “as any significant injury;
e.g., an injury that is painful and obvious, or is of a type for which medical
attention ordinarily would be sought.”            U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1, comment. (n.1);
U.S.S.G. 1B1.1, comment. (n.1(B)).




      9 Carl Turner—one of the primary participants in the bank robbery charged in Count
12S—testified extensively at trial regarding the planning and execution of the operation.
Amongst other things, he testified that the group that participated in the robbery met
beforehand, and Smith assigned each person their role.

       The PSR recounts that during the offense charged in Count 12S, “Turner
approached an employee sitting in a cubicle adjacent to the lobby, pointed a
pistol at her, grabbed her by her hair and shirt, and threw her to the ground.
. . . Turner then approached a customer who was sitting in a chair, pointed a
pistol at her, grabbed her, and threw her to the ground. Turner then kicked
the customer once she was on the ground and threatened to kill her if she
moved. . . . Johnson walked the bank employee to the vault by shoving her in
the back. . . . Johnson then pushed bank employee toward the vault bars,
causing a scratch to her left hand, which caused her pain and discomfort. . . .
As Turner and [Johnson] were leaving the bank. . . . [a] customer was grabbed,
pushed, and thrown to the ground of the bank . . . Officers interviewed a bank
employee who reported sustaining bruising and a small amount of hair loss
from the . . . assault.”
       Smith argues that the evidence only shows that victims sustained
minimal injuries rather than significant injuries as required under the
Guidelines. However, “[w]ithin this circuit, we have affirmed the application
of the bodily-injury enhancement in cases involving minor but identifiable
injuries,” Washington, 500 F. App’x at 283 (collecting cases from the Fifth
Circuit and other circuits), including injuries similar to the ones described in
the PSR, see, e.g., United States v. Grajeda, 259 F. App’x 673, 675, 2007 WL
4460991, at *1 (5th Cir. 2007) (applying a “bodily injury” enhancement where
defendant “kicked and struck the agent on the right side of his chest causing
bruising and pain”). 10




       10 See also United States v. Lister, 229 F. App’x 334, 340 (5th Cir. 2007) (victim “had
numerous scratches, bruises, lumps, and bumps after the assault and . . . complained of pain
in his ankle”); United States v. Jefferson, 258 F.3d 405, 413 (5th Cir. 2001) (victim sustained
“an injury to her head . . . described as a ‘knot’, in addition to cuts, scrapes, and bruises”
(alteration in original)).

      Therefore, the district court did not err in applying the “bodily injury”
sentencing enhancement.
                                        iv.
      Smith’s final challenge is to the district court’s application of a two-point
offense level enhancement for obstruction of justice to Count 12S under
U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1. The PSR recounts that an unidentified witness testified that
an “inmate stated he was sent by [Smith] to find [Carl Turner] and inform him
that he will get stabbed . . . when he gets back to his cell if he testifies against
[Smith].” Smith argues that there was insufficient evidence to support the
enhancement because the relevant information in the PSR was limited to
uncorroborated statements by an unidentified informant. See United States v.
Rogers, 1 F.3d 341, 343–44 (5th Cir. 1993).
      We need not decide whether there was sufficient corroboration of the
confidential informant’s statements, because any error in applying the
enhancement was harmless. Removing this sentencing enhancement would
reduce Smith’s offense level from 41 to 39. With a criminal history category of
IV, Smith’s Guidelines sentencing range would remain at 360 months to life.
Thus, any error was harmless as this enhancement had no impact on Smith’s
Guidelines sentencing range. See Garcia-Gonzalez, 714 F.3d at 315.
                          III.      CONCLUSION
      For the foregoing reasons, we AFFIRM.
