United States v. Garcia-Olivero, No. 10-2748 (7th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
After pleading guilty to being in the United States without authorization after removal, 8 U.S.C. 1326(a), the defendant requested a prison term below the guidelines range on the grounds that his criminal history category was overstated and that his reasons for
returning to this country, to escape poverty and help his family, mitigate his illegal reentry. The district court imposed a 46-month sentence, at the bottom of the guidelines. The Seventh Circuit vacated and remanded, based on the district court's failure to explain its choice of sentence.
