United States v. Perry, No. 21-1730 (1st Cir. 2022)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of a federal district judge in Maine sentencing Defendant on drug-distribution and communications-device counts, holding that the sentence was neither procedurally nor substantively unreasonable.
In 2019, a Maine federal grand jury indicted Defendant for possessing drugs (crack and heroin) with intent to distribute and for using a communications device to commit a drug crime. Defendant pled guilty. The Maine federal judge varied downwards to 137 months and structured his term to run concurrently with the remainder of a Connecticut sentence. The First Circuit affirmed the sentence imposed, holding that nothing Defendant argued on appeal persuaded the Court that his below-guidelines sentence was implausible or indefensible.
