E.D. Wisc.

Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 3-year term of incarceration on unlawful possession of firearm charge, even though defendant argued that Dist. Ct. failed to consider his main mitigation argument that he played only minor role in offense by only briefly handling firearm. Record showed that Dist. Ct. actually considered said argument, but found that it was outweighed by seriousness of offense and defendant’s criminal history.
