U.S. v. Castillo

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 60-month term of incarceration on conspiracy to sell fake documents charge even though applicable guideline range was 37-to-46 month term of incarceration. While defendant argued that Dist. Ct. did not offer sufficient explanation to impose above-guideline sentence, Ct. found that Dist. Ct. rendered sufficient explanation where Dist. Ct. noted that defendant had produced 2,800 fake documents, which was 28 times highest number that triggered highest guideline sentence, and further found existence of other aggravating factors such as defendant's marketing of software for producing more counterfeit documents so as to justify instant sentence.
