United States v. Mendez, No. 14-1566 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to various charges stemming from his role in a conspiracy to provide identification documents to undocumented aliens in the United States. The sentencing judge sentenced Defendant to a total of seventy-five months imprisonment. Defendant appealed, contending that his sentence was too long and that the sentencing judge made various errors when handing it down. The First Circuit vacated the sentence and remanded for resentencing, as the court was wholly unable to discern the district court’s rationale behind its sentencing decisions, and therefore, appellate review was unworkable.
