United States v. Rodriguez-Milian, No. 14-1976 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of participating in a conspiracy to import five or more kilograms of cocaine into the customs territory of the United States arising from his role in a scheme to fly drug shipments from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico. Appellant was sentenced to serve a 235-month term of immurement. Appellant appealed, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction, a prejudicial variance occurred, the admission of certain coconspirator statements was improper, and that errors occurring during his sentencing. The First Circuit affirmed Appellant’s conviction and sentence, holding that his claims of error were largely unpreserved and wholly unpersuasive. Remanded for the district court to consider a sentence reduction under a recent amendment to the sentencing guidelines.
