United States v. Caballero-Vazquez, No. 17-1144 (1st Cir. 2018)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant’s sentences imposed in connection with his convictions for possession ammunition as a convicted felon (the felon in possession case) and for possessing a machine gun (the machine gun case), holding that the sentences were both procedurally and substantively reasonable.
Specifically, the Court held (1) Defendant’s procedural challenges failed; (2) Defendant’s challenges to the calculation of his criminal history category in both cases failed; and (3) neither Defendant’s high-end guidelines sentence in the machine gun case nor his upwardly variant sentence in the felon in possession case was substantively unreasonable.
