United States v. Fuentes-Moreno, No. 18-1907 (1st Cir. 2020)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court giving Defendant a consecutive 144-month sentence for two robbery convictions rather than making the sentence concurrent with another sentence he was already serving, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a consecutive sentence.
Defendant pled guilty to two counts of aiding and abetting in interfering with commerce by robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Te district court sentenced Defendant to 144 months each on the counts, to be served concurrently with each other but consecutively to the sentence Defendant was already serving for a firearm offense. On appeal, Defendant argued, among other things, that the district court erred in imposing a consecutive, rather than a concurrent, sentence to his sentence for the firearm offense. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a consecutive sentence; and (2) Defendant's sentence was substantively reasonable.
