View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's post-Booker sentence was affirmed and counsel was granted leave to withdraw because no nonfrivolous issues from which to appeal existed as district court properly treated USSG as advisory, adequately considered 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors, and properly exercised its discretion in granting downward adjustment.
