United States v. Reyes-Medina, No. 11-3272 (7th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of knowingly and intentionally using a communication facility in committing, causing, or facilitating a drug trafficking crime, 21 U.S.C. 843(b). The district court sentenced him to 48 months’ imprisonment on Count I and 39 months on Count II, to run consecutively. The Seventh Circuit affirmed. The district court was within its discretion in imposing consecutive sentences and adequately addressed arguments under the U.S.S.G. 3553(a) factors and otherwise followed the correct sentencing procedure. The seriousness of the underlying offense trumped the positive aspects of defendant’s personal characteristics.
