GREATER FLINT OUTREACH CTR & CHURCH 1938 S DORT HWY 41-17-482-036
County records indicate that 1938 belongs to Greater Flint Outreach Center-a church group. However concerned 7th ward residents recently had Larry Noal White address a meeting at the Brennan Center regarding his alleged development of Piece of the Rock Entertainment at this address. I am told White told the group he had purchased the facility, but residents have been unable to locate any records confirming the sale.
Councilwoman Galloway has been active in monitoring the situation and is reportedly livid that the facility opened tonight, allegedly without a permit/ The facility appears to be divided into several units.
1940 S Dort belongs to the Land Bank.

16 F.3d 1223: Larry Noal White, Petitioner-appellant, v. United States of America, Respondent-appellee United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit. - 16 F.3d 122316 F.3d 1223: Larry Noal White, Petitioner-appellant, v. United States of America, Respondent-appellee
(Partial document)
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit. - 16 F.3d 1223
Jan. 24, 1994
Before: KEITH and NORRIS, Circuit Judges; and ENGEL, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
¶1
Petitioner Larry White ("White") appeals from the district court's denial of his motion to vacate pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 without granting discovery or an evidentiary hearing. For the reasons stated below, we AFFIRM the denial and dismissal of White's Sec. 2255 motion to vacate.
¶2
In 1989, a jury convicted White and four co-defendants of participating in a conspiracy to distribute a multi-kilogram amount of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. Secs. 841 and 846. The indictment alleged an eight year conspiracy which began in 1980 and continued until indictment. In 1990, the five defendants appealed their convictions to this court. In a published decision, this court affirmed White's conviction and sentence. See United States v. Walton, 908 F.2d 1289 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 906 (1990). Regarding White, Judge Kennedy stated:
¶3
The evidence presented at trial showed that Larry White was the leader of the conspiracy in the Flint, Michigan area. He obtained large quantities of cocaine from suppliers in other parts of the country and arranged for its transportation, dilution, repackaging, and distribution by other members of the conspiracy. The remaining defendants occupied various positions in White's Flint organization.
¶4
* * *
¶5
* * *
¶6
The government conducted a lengthy investigation into the ring's activities prior to bringing the indictment. Wiretaps placed on Larry White's phones and a microphone hidden in his house provided a considerable amount of evidence against most of the defendants. Additionally, several members of the conspiracy testified against the defendants on behalf of the government.... A jury found all of the defendants ... guilty of conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
¶7
* * *
¶8
* * *
¶9
Following the preparation of presentence reports and hearings on the disputed issues, the District Court sentenced the defendants pursuant to the guidelines established by the United States Sentencing Commission.... Larry White was sentenced to 480 months imprisonment, the maximum sentence authorized by statute.
¶10
Id. at 1291. Judge Kennedy also discussed particular facts relevant to White's sentencing stating:
¶11
Defendant Larry White was originally charged both with conspiring to distribute cocaine (Count I) and operating a continuing criminal enterprise (Count II). At his arraignment on these charges, White signed an "Acknowledgement of Indictment" form. The form correctly stated that he faced a maximum sentence of life imprisonment for operating a continuing criminal enterprise but erroneously stated that the maximum sentence for the conspiracy count was 20 years. The actual maximum was 40 years. 21 U.S.C. Secs. 841 and 846. Count II was voluntarily dismissed by the government three days after the jury was selected. After his conviction on Count I, White was sentenced to 480 months imprisonment, the maximum allowed under the statute.
¶12
Id. at 1295.
¶13
After this Court affirmed White's conviction and sentence, he cooperated with a government investigation of other drug trafficking offenders. Consequently, the prosecutor moved under Fed.R.Crim.P. 35 to reduce White's sentence from 480 to 360 months; the district court ordered a greater reduction to 300 months.
¶14
Over the course of these proceedings, White has retained six attorneys. Prior to trial, White was involved in a business relationship with his trial attorney, David Grant. White, Grant, and Marzellus Wilson1 engaged in a business partnership and Grant performed the legal work for this partnership. White alleges Grant knew of an FBI investigation into the sources of funds for the partnership which led to the ultimate denial of financing for a project. White also alleges that Wilson threatened his life and told him that he should employ Grant as his attorney for his criminal prosecution.
¶15
In May 1992, White, through attorney C. Frederick Robinson, filed a motion to vacate his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255. Regarding this motion, Assistant United States Attorney Haviland stated he would not oppose an evidentiary hearing if White filed a sworn affidavit setting forth his Sec. 2255 allegations. The district court conditioned the grant of an evidentiary hearing upon White's filing of a sworn affidavit. After White executed and filed his affidavit, the district court scheduled an evidentiary hearing for September 29, 1992. Sometime before the hearing, White retained current counsel, Barney Whitesman.
¶16
Prior to the scheduled hearing, Whitesman entered an appearance for White substituting for prior counsel. The district judge adjourned the evidentiary hearing without date to allow Whitesman's review of the trial transcripts. Once Whitesman became familiar with the issues, the district court allowed him to file an amended motion to vacate. On December 11, 1992, Whitesman filed an amended motion to vacate and a separate motion requesting discovery. The amended Sec. 2255 motion incorporated the original motion verbatim and added other claims of error. The discovery motion sought to depose David Grant, government agents regarding pre-indictment delay, and Citizen's Bank officials who denied financing for the joint venture. |

Before KENNEDY and WELLFORD, Circuit Judges, and ENGEL, Senior Circuit Judge.
KENNEDY, Circuit Judge.
¶1
In these five consolidated appeals, defendants Loretta Walton, Charles Eddie Mitchell, Eddie Lee Johnson, Larry Noal White, and Rosemary Johnson seek relief from their convictions and sentences imposed on jury verdicts finding each guilty of conspiring to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. Secs. 841 and 846. For the reasons stated below, we: (1) AFFIRM the convictions and sentences of defendants Walton, Mitchell, and White, (2) AFFIRM the convictions of defendants Eddie and Rosemary Johnson, but (3) REVERSE the sentences of defendants Eddie and Rosemary Johnson and REMAND their cases for resentencing.
¶2
Because most of the complex facts in this case are unnecessary to the resolution of the case, only an abbreviated version will be recited here. Additional facts will be stated when needed for the resolution of the issues discussed. The defendants were convicted of participating in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine in Flint, Michigan, and Columbus, Ohio. The indictment alleged that the conspiracy began in 1980 and continued through the time of the indictment in 1988. The evidence presented at trial showed that Larry White was the leader of the conspiracy in the Flint, Michigan, area. He obtained large quantities of cocaine from suppliers in other parts of the country and arranged for its transportation, dilution, repackaging, and distribution by other members of the conspiracy.
¶3
The remaining defendants occupied various positions in White's Flint organization. Loretta Walton was one of White's chief lieutenants and was involved in all aspects of the conspiracy, including the pickup and delivery of cocaine, the pickup and delivery of money, the preparation and repackaging of cocaine for retail sales, and the sales themselves. Charles Mitchell was a Flint police officer during the conspiracy. He transported cocaine for the ring and provided protection for its activities, many times while in uniform. The Johnsons apparently were not as deeply involved in the conspiracy as were White, Walton, and Mitchell. They obtained small quantities of cocaine from other members of the conspiracy, diluted it, repackaged it into small lots, and sold it directly to users of cocaine.
¶4
The government conducted a lengthy investigation into the ring's activities prior to bringing the indictment. Wiretaps placed on Larry White's phones and a microphone hidden in his house provided a considerable amount of evidence against most of the defendants. Additionally, several members of the conspiracy testified against the defendants on behalf of the government, including Rolando Hernandez, a Miami-based supplier of cocaine for the conspiracy, and Russell Brown, who transported and repackaged cocaine for the conspiracy.
¶5
A jury found all of the defendants whose cases are on appeal here guilty of conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Following the preparation of presentence reports and hearings on the disputed issues, the District Court sentenced the defendants pursuant to the guidelines established by the United States Sentencing Commission. Loretta Walton and Charles Mitchell were each sentenced to 292 months imprisonment. Eddie and Rosemary Johnson were each sentenced to 41 months imprisonment. Larry White was sentenced to 480 months imprisonment, the maximum sentence authorized by statute.
¶6
II. Witness Brown's Reference to a Polygraph Test
¶7
Defendants Walton, Mitchell, and White challenge a passing reference by Russell Brown, a government witness, to a polygraph examination. The reference occurred during Brown's direct examination by the Assistant United States Attorney:
¶8
Q All right. Did you tell the DEA agent Dodson something about the cocaine business in Flint?
¶9
A Yes.
¶10
Q Why did you do that?
¶11
A Well I thought it would help with my case.
¶12
Q The uttering and publishing charge was pending against you then?
¶13
A Right.
¶14
Q Okay. And you spoke with the DEA agent Dodson at that time?
¶15
A Right.
¶16
Q As a result of your conversation with Agent Dodson, were you called to a Grand Jury?
¶17
A No. I had to take a polygraph before that.
¶18
Following Brown's mention of the polygraph, defense counsel asked for and received a sidebar conference and moved for a mistrial. The court denied the motion but agreed to accept briefs on the subject. Following the sidebar conference, the government, in an attempt to minimize any possible prejudice from the witness' answer, asked the court to strike the witness' answer as nonresponsive and to instruct the jury to disregard it. The court advised the jury that the answer was not responsive to the question asked by the prosecutor, ordered the response stricken, and advised the jury to disregard it. No other reference to this or any other polygraph examination was made at any time during the five-week trial.
¶19
The following day, the court heard argument on the motion for a mistrial. Brown was examined outside of the jury's hearing. He testified that the polygraph examination he took was actually requested and administered by county prosecutors, not by any federal agent or prosecutor. He also stated that he never mentioned the polygraph examination to any federal agent or Assistant United States Attorney involved in the case and had no way of knowing whether the Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting the case knew he had taken a polygraph examination. The court again denied the motion for a mistrial and found that the government had not intended the reference to the polygraph. Although noting that the prosecutor had stated that the witness' unresponsive statement might have been deliberate, the court found that there was no evidence that Brown had made the statement in a deliberate attempt to prejudice the defense. At this hearing, the government also offered to stipulate that no agent of the United States had requested that a polygraph test be given to Brown and no agent of the United States had been informed of the results of any polygraph test Brown may have taken. Defense counsel declined to have the stipulation read to the jury.
¶20
Brown's testimony concerned, among other things: (1) a shipment of frozen fish containing hidden packages of cocaine that he transported for White, (2) his work for White breaking down several one kilogram shipments of cocaine into one ounce packages for resale, (3) his knowledge that Mitchell, then a police officer for the city of Flint, delivered cocaine for White, and (4) his observation that Walton often made cocaine pickups with White. Brown, who was in prison on other charges at the time of his testimony, admitted that he only agreed to testify in hope of receiving leniency in a state prosecution and a $2,000 payment by the federal government. Thus the credibility of his testimony was disputed.
¶21
Other witnesses and evidence also linked Walton, Mitchell, and White to the conspiracy. For example, Rolando Hernandez, who supplied White with bulk quantities of cocaine, testified to his supply activities and to Walton's actions as a courier for and confidante of White. Dennis Barker, who like Brown was only involved intermittently in White's operations, provided additional evidence against Mitchell. He testified that he had seen Mitchell, often in uniform, receiving large lots of cocaine from White for delivery. Phone wiretaps and a microphone located in White's house provided strong evidence against White and Walton and at least some additional evidence against Mitchell. |

Charles Mitchell was a Flint Police officer who went to prison for his role in the cocaine conspiracy.
Now Flint Police Officer Plair was at the Brennan Center with White announcing Flint Police, including herself, would be providing security. I wonder if Tolbert has approved this "moonlighting" endeavor. Does this reinforce the rumors that the State Police are taking control because they believe there is corruption in the Flint Police. |

V. The Trial Court's Ex Parte Communication with a Juror
¶39
During recross-examination of defendant White concerning his financial dealings with his sister Barbara Veasley (a defense witness who had already testified), the trial judge called a sidebar conference and made the following statement:
¶40
This morning a juror told me or asked me to point--asked to see me and I saw him. He wanted to point out to me that Mrs. Veasley was in the audience and signaling answers to Mr. White. I asked this morning to have Ms. Schnay sit in the courtroom during this morning's session before the break and observe and I observed. |

I am told that recently Police Chief Tolbert had the Piece of the Rock shut down. The 7th ward can be proud of their councilwoman Galloway for making sure policies are followed in granting occupancy.
Last nights council meeting was a little heated as Galloway accused Larry White of lying to the public at a meeting held at the Brennan Center.
White was advised about the steps required to get an occupancy permit. Instead he had work performed on the structure without pulling permits or having inspections. |

It was really interesting to see Wantwaz (sp? sorry) go into overtime defending this dude. Such harassment he's undergone! And Mays openly admitted being there for their illegal opening night.
I'd love to see their campaign contributions, heh. |
