United States v. Garcia-Pagan, No. 14-1588 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of carjacking and of carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Defendant was sentence to a term of 420 months’ imprisonment. Defendant appealed, challenging his conviction and sentence. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying defense counsel’s request for a continuance to file a motion for a writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum for another perpetrator, who had pleaded guilty for his involvement in these same crimes; (2) Defendant’s prison sentence was neither procedurally nor substantively unreasonable; and (3) Defendant’s ineffective assistance of counsel claims were dismissed without prejudice to their renewal on collateral review.
