View this case - free  

Overview: Because the district court correctly calculated the guidelines range, treated the range as advisory, took into account sentencing factors listed in 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a), and imposed a sentence below the advisory sentencing range and substantially below the statutory maximum, defendant's 240-month sentence was reasonable.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's sentence of 120 months was reasonable where the court treated the U.S.S.G. as advisory and imposed a sentence of 120 months, a sentence that was both within the guideline range and the maximum that the law allowed, and defendant's counsel did not object to the court's failure to consider the sentencing purposes of 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a).

Overview: Where defendant was one of five crew members on a boat transporting approximately 2,627 kilograms of cocaine, and where all members of the crew discarded numerous bales of cocaine when encountered by the U.S. Coast Guard, defendant played a role similar to others and denial of a minor-role reduction was proper.
