United States v. Gantt, No. 11-3127 (10th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant Deshane Gantt pleaded guilty in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas to brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence for which he was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. He appealed the sentence, arguing that it was both procedurally and substantively unreasonable. Upon review, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the sentence, finding the sentence was procedurally reasonable because the district court adequately explained why it varied from the guideline sentence, and it was substantively reasonable because the length of the sentence was not an abuse of discretion.
