United States v. Dickerson, No. 21-3093 (7th Cir. 2022)
Annotate this Case
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court imposing an above-Guidelines sentence of eighty-four months after Defendant pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, holding that the sentence was procedurally and substantively reasonable.
The court ultimately calculated Defendant's new offense level to be seventeen, yielding an advisory Guidelines range of fifty-one to sixty-three months' imprisonment. The district court concluded that an upward variance from the advisory guidelines range was required to protect the public and sentenced Defendant to eighty-four months' imprisonment. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, holding that Defendant's sentence was both procedurally and substantively reasonable.
