United States v. Salvador Gutierrez, No. 22-1157 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's sentence in his underlying criminal case, holding that the district court did not err in imposing a sentencing enhancement for the use or attempted use of a minor in the commission of the offense under the sentencing guidelines.
Defendant pleaded guilty to one count of RICO conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) and, in doing so, admitted to two murders. After a sentencing hearing, the district court sentenced Defendant to life imprisonment. Defendant appealed, arguing that the district court erred in applying the guideline enhancement under U.S.S.G. 3B1.4 for Defendant's use or attempted use of a minor. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
