United States v. Figueroa-Figueroa, No. 13-1690 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseOn two consecutive days in March 2012, Defendant engaged in a total of six acts of violence, all at gunpoint. Defendant was charged with numerous Puerto Rico offenses and, under federal law, being a felon in possession of a firearm. Defendant was sentenced to a total of twelve years for the state crimes. Defendant pleaded guilty to the federal charge and was sentenced to an eighty-seven-month term of imprisonment to run consecutively to his previously imposed commonwealth sentence. Defendant appealed, claiming that the district court committed procedural error by ignoring a provision of the United States Sentencing Guidelines requiring concurrent sentencing for the federal and state offenses. The First Circuit affirmed the district court’s sentencing judgment, holding that the sentenced imposed was proper.
