Annotate this CasePursuant to a plea agreement, Defendant pleaded guilty to a single count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime, an offense that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of sixty months’ imprisonment. After a disposition hearing, the district court sentenced Defendant to a 120-month term of immurement, double the mandatory minimum. Defendant appealed his sentence, advancing four claims of procedural error as well as an overall complaint about the substantive reasonableness of his sentence. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that Defendant’s sentence was both procedurally and substantively reasonable.
