United States v. Rogers, No. 20-2165 (1st Cir. 2021)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court sentencing Defendant to seventy-two months of incarceration in connection with his plea of guilty to one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, holding that there was no error.
On appeal, Defendant argued (1) the district court misapplied the Sentencing Guidelines when it imposed a four-level offense under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual 2K2.1(b)(6)(B), and (2) the sentence was substantively unreasonable. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not err in applying the four-level offense increase pursuant to section 2K2.1(b)(6)(B), and the sentence was otherwise procedurally reasonable; and (2) the sentence was plausible, defensible, and substantively reasonable.
