United States v. Sepulveda-Hernandez, No. 15-1293 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of multiple crimes arising from his roles as the supplier to, part-owner of, and lessor of a drug-distribution network. The First Circuit reduced Appellant’s convictions to convictions for conspiracy and aiding and abetting the distribution of drugs, vacated his sentence, and remanded for resentencing. Upon resentencing, the district court sentenced Appellant at the top of, but within the guideline sentencing range, imposing a 151-month term of immurement on each count of conviction, to run concurrently. Appellant appealed, raising multiple claims of sentencing error. The First Circuit affirmed Appellant’s sentence, holding that Appellant’s claims were both unpreserved and unpersuasive.
