United States v. Vega-Salgado, No. 13-1484 (1st Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Appellant entered into a written plea agreement with a commitment that the government would recommend a sentence of no more than fifty-six months. Thereafter, Appellant tendered his guilty plea. The district court set a guideline sentencing range significantly higher than that anticipated by the parties and subsequently imposed a mid-range sentence of 103 months. The First Circuit affirmed the sentence, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the 103-month sentence, as it fell within the bounds of reasonableness, and Appellant’s remaining claims of error were without merit.
