United States v. Lymas, No. 13-4635 (4th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseThis appeal arose from a convenience store robbery spree that occurred in Fayetteville, North Carolina over a four-day period in 2011. Appellants, three individuals, each plead guilty to Hobbs Act conspiracy and using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. The district court sentenced all three Appellants to a combined sentence of 200 months. Appellants appealed, challenging both the procedural and substantive reasonableness of their sentences. The Fourth Circuit vacated and remanded for resentencing, holding that the sentences were procedurally unreasonable because the district court failed to explain its rejection of the Guidelines sentences and also failed to sufficiently explain the sentences imposed.
