United States v. Quiles-Lopez, No. 19-1379 (1st Cir. 2021)
Annotate this Case
In this consolidated appeal brought by Appellant to contest the sentences he received in two separate cases, the First Circuit affirmed the sentences, holding that there was no error or abuse of discretion.
In the first case, Appellant pled guilty to attempted possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and was sentenced to 168 months' imprisonment. In this second case, Appellant was sentenced to eighteen months for violating supervised release terms that were imposed for an earlier conviction for conspiracy to attempt to possess with intent to distribute cocaine. The First Circuit affirmed both sentences, holding that the 168-month sentence was not unreasonably high and that the district court's sentencing rationale in the second case was not flawed.
