United States v. Pantojas-Cruz, No. 14-1665 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePursuant to a plea agreement, Defendant pleaded guilty to being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm. The district court imposed an upwardly variant sentence of sixty months imprisonment - two times the top of Defendant’s Guidelines Sentencing Range. Defendant appealed, challenging both the procedural and substantive reasonableness of his sentence. The First Circuit affirmed Defendant’s sentence after reviewing the record as a whole, holding that each of Defendant’s claims failed and that Defendant’s sentence of sixty months of imprisonment was both procedurally sound and substantively reasonable.
