Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 46-month term of incarceration on charge of illegal reentry into U.S. after having been deported even though defendant asserted that Dist. Ct. had failed to address his contention that his 1985 drug conviction was too old and had overstated seriousness of his charged offense. Record showed that Dist. Ct. specifically addressed and rejected said contention and otherwise provided rationale for its determination as to how much weight should be given to 1985 conviction. Ct. also rejected defendant's claim that his sentence, which was within sentencing guidelines, was unreasonable even though defendant had argued that he was 57-years old and had spent prior 27 years in U.S. without incident.
