United States v. Zayas-Burgos, No. 19-1163 (1st Cir. 2021)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court sentencing Defendant to eighty-seven months for engaging in firearms trafficking without a license and conspiring to commit an offense against the United States, holding that the sentence was not unreasonable.
Defendant's crimes violated the terms of two supervised release sentences, leading to the revocation of both and two consecutive sentences of imprisonment. For his crimes, Defendant was sentenced to eighty-seven months in prison, to be served consecutively to the revocation sentences. On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court erred by viewing the Sentencing Guidelines as mandatory. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that Defendant's claims on appeal were without merit.
